Attending 3 events likely means the death of our program. I am scrambling to keep my program alive that I have poured my heart into for our two year existence.

Wealthy teams with lots of mentors that already go to many events will enjoy a savings of a few thousand dollars. I would rather see less matches accommodating more teams, rather than more matches that fewer teams can afford and get to.
What am I missing, why not just attend two district events then?
