Well those of us that are eligible don't have a choice either, if this is the plan for all PNW district events.

We will make due as we always do, but this is a big reduction in available power and I think PNW teams should be told soon through official channels that this is the situation. I know at least for our team, we used a lot less power at Girls Gen than we have done a traditional regional. We will have our pit crew working on a wheeled battery cart after the break.
