Re: (Lack of) Value in the Regional Model
I would love to be in a district model system. We already have to travel 120 miles to our only regional, so getting additional money for one more trip and 1 more night hotel is heck of a lot cheaper then paying for another full regional trip.

As for district champs, sure we might not have the money to go the first year but being able to say we qualified for state champs would help with funding and getting school support next year. Also at the end of the day if I have to pick between telling my kids that we don't have the funds for district champs/worlds, or that we need to get worse so we can be cheesecaked into winning our regional, I am going to choose the first option.
