I wonder if all the talk from the Pacific Northwest district thread about a nation wide system by 2017 is a reflection of that new leadership? |
I believe that a nationwide district system would work for most teams, but not everyone. If you look at the map, states like us (Iowa) that have minimal FRC teams would have to drive aways away to district events. As it is, our 2 regionals that 967 & 525 came to are long drives 5+ hour bus rides. It's not very sustainable to have teams like ours drive to more events that are further away and get housing for longer. As I tossed out above, if KC did go to the district system, I see that as a niche for Iowa to pickup and start a regional up here to play our powerhouse teams
