Re: Looking for District Naysayers

I'm all for districts, however by switching to districts the events lost a sparkle they had. The main detractor is the fact that we simply do not see as many unique teams. Outside of the 120ish teams MAR has, we seldom see teams outside of MAR. By having 60 teams instead of 40, the stands would just have 50% more people. It felt bigger, more energetic. With this point in mind, I'd still rather have districts. For the same price, you get 2 events, AND you get more plays at each of those events than a regional.
