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.

The First year was tough for the PNW district core volunteer base for certain. We gained a few for the second season and few more this year and we have another group that has inquired about stepping up next year. So at least in our case it has got better every year. I hope it does for you as well.
