I am not really complaining about going to district. Georgia's choice was districts 2016 or 2017, not regional or district. Knowing the costs to put on a regional, I don't think they are sustainable for the long run. My lament is we will not see in any non district teams (FL, SC, TN, international teams, ETC) in Georgia, at least for 2016. We do have a choice of going to another district, but only NC is a reasonable commute. Going to a regional will be difficult cost & logistically wise. (Optimistically planning for 2 districts, & districts finals). Regional registration opens for districts teams late in registration. With the loss of 6 regionals in the south east & the addition of one (Alabama), the number of regionals with space available will be questionable even if we chose that option.
