Re: Current Districts Map. Who is next?
Michigan had 2 head refs to cover 3 regionals in 2008.

We went to 7 district events in 2009 (plus MSC) - added one new head ref, and imported at least one head ref from outside MI to cover one of the events.

In 2010 we still had 7 district events, but now had 4 head refs - 2 new, one retired.

Last year we had 18 district events, 8 head refs (2 new).

So most of us do 2 or 3 events, plus MSC.

Now FTA's - we have a couple insane ones who work every weekend!

My point is, you can develop key volunteers as you expand. It would be a big jump the first year for MN, simply because of the size - they should have gone to districts 2 or 3 years ago. But I understand why they didn't, because they had so many new rookie teams in the years prior, they couldn't handle districts then. If they don't go to districts soon, though, the initial implementation will only get worse.
