Maybe in the next 5 or so years it may switch to districts.. but that's just my guess.
Half the issue of volunteers in Minnesota is that there are only 2 weekends available. Many volunteers won't compete at an event their team is at, so they can't volunteer anywhere if their team does 2 Minnesota events. If the 4 regionals were on four separate weeks I'd better you'd see many more volunteers appear.

The fifth Minnesota regional will probably help disperse the teams and actually free up some volunteers.
