Most school districts will not justify teams attending just to watch without competing. It's also difficult to justify fundraising from sponsors etc for the same reason. I know some teams attend every year whether they qualify or not, but that will always be the exception. It is highly unrealistic to expect teams to attend with competing. For anyone who suggests otherwise, that you first have a conversation with your school administration about this idea and THEN comment on this thread.
