Re: Wisconsin Regional 2016

I'm a bit worried that a lot of WI teams currently only do one event. This year 22 of WI's 48 teams are only attending one Regional. Several more are doing just that and Champs. Adding another 2 events in between to make it to Champs seems like a lot to ask for teams with less funding, but the state grants should help alleviate some of that. And hey, other regions have solved all of these problems already.
An event near Appleton/Green Bay might get some UP teams down to Wisconsin for a third play, and Wisconsin could come up to Escanaba. And Wisconsin might then start growing north of Wausau.
