Getting teams the ability to do more than one competition is a great idea if that's what they want. I have read threads here that indicate the money savings going to districts is not that substantial if at all. Sadly, I know mentors who like the one and done approach. We do (can afford) two events every year so the difference is not great. I also like the ability for our students to travel to different regions for ten experience. That becomes more difficult when everyone does districts I believe.

As far as the state money goes, I hope it's used to expand the teams in Wisconsin. There are many teams who are financially stable and are not hurting for more funds. The money needs to be used wisely. These kinds of funds generally do not last long. Teams who really do not need it should not get greedy so growth can occur.

Again, I hope that locations are not in gyms. Takes the ambiance away from it being something real special IMHO. I hope that more colleges get involved and offer their buildings. That could/is more of a win win for everyone I think.
