You are not the only one that is worried about the volunteer burnout. The events did an alright job of bringing some new people in but for long term sustainability is is on the community to help out with the key/technical roles. I am really looking forward to having some one shadow me next season for all of the extra equipment needed to set up an event.

As far as the costs are concerned, I am hoping the PNW's model is successful and becomes a model for things to come. If the districts can fundraise enough to drop costs for teams down to 5k for the district events and district championship (at least on the registration side) that is a huge win. Also, as more folks see what we are looking for on an event side hopefully it means closer events for a majority of teams.
