Any ideas on getting commitments to attend. I'm worried we are going to lose so much on hosting that it will bankrupt the team this season.

1) Find local sponsors to help lower the barrier to entry (costs) for teams. Three or four sponsors each putting up $500-1000 will help you out a lot.
2) Word of mouth through other teams about how great your event is.
3) Invite out of state teams, not just the local ones. Seek them out specifically and invite them (Trust me, it works!)
4) Get Nate Laverdure and Matt Lythgoe to put mentors from other teams in a headlock until they agree to come back (Trust me, it works!)
