This is definitely a little confusing. MORT is absolutely a role model team in the region, and I know they'll do an excellent job of sharing their findings, but MAR isn't exactly tiny, and it'll be tough for them to get their experiences out to the teams in southern NJ/Eastern PA/Delaware without some serious travel and $ pitched in. For comparison-- If I counted right, there are 7 Michigan teams & 5 New England teams.
Hopefully MAR-the-corporation puts in some effort/resources to help get information to all the region's teams, so that the burden doesn't entirely fall on Team 11. Also crossing my fingers that fall off-seasons will allow MORT to come and share their experience at the events as 25 did during their time as a beta tester way-back-when.
I know it'd be tough for us to get up there to MORT's school pre-kickoff for the required seminar-event, and we're not even that far away as compared to other teams. Definitely seeing the need for online and at-event sharing with only one region team testing.
