Why not Austin instead of Lubbock ?
I don't see the population density working for a Lubbock regional
I belive this has to do with the eventual change over to the district model in the future. They need a good distribution of teams/events to make it work. That being said I wouldn't be suprised to see an austin district when the change is made.


Also 1817 is basically out there all by themselves, and I really doubt that there will be alot of quality teams at that event especally if they have tasked a college supported team to found them. That model does not work, and while you may see 20 new kitbot teams this year, I bet only ~10 survive into year 3 (this due to the assumption for regional earmarked 2 year grants).
