My team was, at one point, considering declining our Champs slot due to similar concerns. Schoolwork, missed school (it's our 4th event), and family commitments can easily cut down the number of available students to the point where "Is it worth it" becomes a very real question.

Now, had we known from the beginning of season that Champs was our destination, we'd have been able to plan around that... but we didn't.
