Re: (Lack of) Value in the Regional Model
Indiana just moved to the district model and the only differences that I noticed this year were different lighting, no big black curtain and a smaller screen for video. In my opinion this was a very smart financial move and in NO WAY impacted the professionalism or the prestige of the event.
I must also admit that Indiana has some of the largest HS gyms in the country so the venue size is not an issue.
If sponsor donates based upon a venue they are missing out on the purpose of FIRST. Our sponsors donate because of the impact upon the students.
