I'm just spitballing here. What if an event tried hosting two consecutive regionals in the same venue with the first one taking place Thursday through Saturday and the second one running Sunday through Tuesday. You'd still need about twice as many volunteer hours, but maybe there would be some significant cost savings associated with only occupying the venue for one weekend, and it might be logistically easier than planning new regionals in new venues.

Meh. Let's grow the volunteer base and sprout a whole bunch of new district events in gyms.
