Re: Georgia Districts
Hate to see a solid event like Peachtree come off the board, but congrats to our neighbors for seeing the growth to make districts viable. After three years of 60-some-odd-team regionals, I know I can't wait for the change either.
-----------
For those that keep asking about South Carolina: I've talked with Frank Lanford (the Palmetto RD) about this one at length. There has been no down-to-brass-tacks talk about us playing in any district system next year, either alone or as a multi-state region. Judging from how Indiana pulled it off and from our neighbors, my bet is on a one-state district around 2017-2018 once our team count gets north of 50. (We were at 41 this year, Indiana had 49.) The other Good Guy Frank wouldn't flip the switch without plenty of dialogue first.
