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.

I definitely agree here, very strange that there was only 1 MAR team selected as there are many very competent teams in our region of doing this, I would have expected at least 3 (1 for each state). That being said I know when we did the beta test a few years back we demonstrated it at all the off season competitions we went to in the fall, I'm hoping they will be able to do the same. MORT is a great team and will do this very well, just wish there were more testing in our area.
