Re: Michigan, be honest, how is the district model?
It depends on the event, for example 910 tries to do one "travel" event and one "home" event. Our home event is about 15 minutes from our school, so we don't use a hotel, while the travel requires a hotel. We could theoretically do two districts where we didn't need a hotel, we just don't. I know a lot of teams just do day trips to save the costs.

However, this is only how we do it and we are in metro Detroit, where most of the events take place. I know travel can be an issue for teams in the U.P., which has been discussed above.
