Re: Future Championships

Adding more divisions makes a lot of sense to me. It would allow for more qualifier matches and still allow room for those teams to go that should be allowed to experience champs for inspiration.

The district model has one major drawback where we live - distance. For example: San Antonio and El Paso has 550 miles of nearly nothing between them. This is the same distance as going from Philadelphia, PA to Myrtle Beach, SC. You can cross seven states with many teams in the same distance that one of the El Paso teams would have to travel just to get to the next major city. Granted this is an extreme example; however, it does highlight my concern.
