We have had a great time playing with the PNW teams over the last 6 years and look forward to the opportunity to do it again soon.

Of the teams in the mountain west - those close to Boise don't seem to be as challenged by the district boundary rules as 2130 and 4334. Personally think that it should be possible to develop and publish a hardship criteria based on travel distance/cost (in the short term) that would allow teams to compete within a district that are outside of the boundary.

For now, it looks likely we will be revisiting friends in California or making new ones in Nevada or Colorado.
