Try districts for a year or two, if you don't like them you can choose to put your efforts elsewhere. But I bet a 24-tooth aluminum sprocket with hex bore that in June 2017 you will be a huge proponent of the district system.
I have seen the exact same thing in NJ, and others have seen it elsewhere, and it's always the same. In fact, I am thinking of relocating to Atlanta just to convince everyone how great this is going to be  |
This really makes me smile as Don R and I had a very similar conversation on the bleachers of the "pit competition field" in 2011.
It isn't all peaches and cream, and there is a lot of work, and a lot of stepping up required, but it is important to remember that if there is no room up top, then it is difficult for folks to step up. If a space is made, and an effort is applied to fill it, you will likely be impressed who jumps in.
I talk to a lot of people via CD or in person at Championship about districts. I am a big proponent, and most of them know it. I believe that most people are honest with me, and only small percentage (usually 1-2 persons per year) would want to "go back to how it was". With interdistrict play now allowed, it was even a smaller amount of complaints than most years.
