Districts do have their good points. However,the major issue that Texas is facing is logistics. There are currently 4 regionals here, and with districts, there would be a necessity to increase the number of locations to hold events, to cover the 2 district event for the initial entry fee. There are enough teams here to have multiple events each week of the competition season.

Who and where would host these events? I know that high schools are now hosting in other districts to help offset the costs, but has anyone here tried to survey what schools could host a three day event, of which 2 would be during class time, and would require additional parking/storage/security for the attending teams.

We have several schools that host off-season events, but those are in the summer or on a Saturday only. This is a very different animal.

If this issue can be solved, then at least the ground work will have been broken.

District events are only 2 days and could potentially be saturday/sunday
