Aloha from Maui, I'm the lead mentor for team 3882 the Lunas out of Lahainaluna HS on Maui. We have been to San Diego in 2016 and Los Angeles in 2015 and really enjoyed ourselves at both regionals. Thank you to the event crews and volunteers. We will be sad if California goes to districts, but I understand the reasons. We have figured out that playing in 2 regionals is definitely a plus for improving our program, so I see the rational behind districts allowing more matches. Unfortunately for us travel is our biggest challenge $$, even our home regional is on another island, Oahu, and we need to fly there, hotel cost etc.. California is our closest regional opportunity other than Oahu.
