And if you want to establish other district competitions in more podunk locations, more power to ye.

Creating small groups of people dedicated to ensuring that your area has enough volunteers, sponsors, and a plan for future growth BEFORE jumping to the district model will help with this.
Hopefully your dedicated volunteers will follow the event, and if the district has enough money (because they have an organized sponsorship base) they can potentially pay for their key volunteers to travel if needed. InF is not doing that this year, but we're a small district, and travel is limited.
I'd love to see Ohio go to districts next year. We might be able to have some Ohio/InF crossover play!
