Re: Experience promoting districts in Minnesota

Northern Lights - 60 teams
Lake Superior - 63 teams
10000 Lakes - 63 teams
North Star - 60 teams
Iowa - 21 Minnesota teams
Amount of regionals with more teams than 63 - 5 (64, 64, 66, 66, 66)
Percent of teams at the 4 MN regionals from Minnesota - 89%

I think that most people that have been following the threads realize that there would be quite a bit of work and money needed to move to districts. But what happens when MN First keeps growing... even if we maxed out at 66 teams and no other teams went to 2 regionals; right now with every thing the way it is we could add 18 teams...
Other Regional Events are in the works. I can speak to 2 different regional proposals in Minnesota. I have no idea how the timeline will work out, but some people are pushing for another event next year. I'd say the odds of it happening are low. 2-3 years and there will be another event or 2 in Minnesota.
