Since Georgia went to the district system last year, our choice of local regionals (something with ~6 hour drive) was greatly reduced. We're thrilled to have the Rocket City Regional in town - a great success last year - but this year the 2 other closest regionals, Smoky Mountain and Bayou, are on the same weekend as Rocket City. I thought there was some sort of coordination among the directors to try and avoid that, but apparently not. I realize that most places are limited by dates available at the venues, but surely with planning starting a year ahead of time we can do better? Aren't these regionals hoping to draw a lot of the same teams?
