Re: Official Inter-District Interest

I checked "Yes, but probably wouldn't use it", simply because LA/MS is so far from going to districts that it won't matter for us for a while.

Why do I like the idea of inter-district play?
  1. Inspiration. Travel inspires those who travel as they see new places. People (teams) who travel inspire those they meet. Ain't that what it's all about?
  2. Geographic reality. No matter how you slice districts, there are going to be teams located on the boundary, who will find it far more convenient to compete in several of the events in the "nearby" district than many of those in their home district. Some may find a way to "get a P.O. Box in the other district" and make it work, but some really are on the fence and could benefit from both. There are certain to be teams which will be more sustainable splitting their competition among two adjacent districts.
