Not necessarily. With districts spread out all over the state, most teams will probably have a "home" event and an "away" event meaning they will really only have to travel to one additional event. Most "successful" teams in Georgia already do this when they go to a second regional, so if anything, it will probably be cheaper for many teams.
As for traveling to the state event, I agree that it is not an ideal location (I go to GT so trust me that I wasn't thrilled when I heard the news), but they did step up and are willing to host the district champs, and I think that most people would prefer to travel a little bit farther then compete at GWCC again.
