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.

It's going to be an interesting year in SC. Normally NC and GA comprise 15% to 20% of Palmetto Regional teams. I'd be surprised to see any this year. At this point, we don't have a locked in date since the venue is not available week 1.
Good luck with your district events!
