4 teams from LA/MS just came back from Orlando and 3 teams went to Arkansas. (We're also making the hike to OKC next week). What's to say that teams won't travel if they have the opportunity to go to multiple events for $5000 and 3 for $6000. Just thinking out loud here.
I would love to be on the other side of this issues but I'm not. When Texas goes to districts it's going to have to be only Texas teams. Our goal is grow the program and if we succeed we would need to split the district in a few years anyway. It doesn't make much sense to set up an infrastructure that we are just going to abend once we get to many teams. Yes I'm going to miss competing at Bayou but we can still trade volunteers and eventually FRC will have interdistrict play. We'll just have to wait a few years.
