Best of luck Joe. I'm very surprised that there isn't more sponsorship interest given the proximity of the event to all the hospitality companies, surely MGM or Caesar's could cough up what probably amounts to 10 minutes worth of earnings without much harm on the bottom line.

As for those questions about the CA districts, there's currently a lot of worry in the number of key volunteers that need to be trained in a short amount of time. The number of events that will need to go on every weekend is likely to burn out many volunteers, not to mention the amount of time off of work for everyone involved. In addition, while the Ventura regional will provide some relief to the already maxed out Los Angeles regional, it isn't enough for the quantity of teams in California that attempt multiple regionals, hence why Vegas tends to get a fairly large CA contingent.
