We might be able to do a 5th qualifying event in a year or two, but it definitely won't be a smaller event. We aim to have around 30 teams per event (this isn't decided fully by us, FIRST has a big say in how many teams per event and how many events per district.

The main reason we don't have more events is cost. The events are EXPENSIVE to put on. They are even more expensive is we have overlapping events. Not only does it take a lot of money, but also man-power. Georgia is currently set up to NOT be able to handle overlapping events. We have purchased our AV system, out power distribution system, the field, and A LOT of other stuff. This substantially cuts down on cost. If we have overlapping events, we then have to rent a large amount of equipment to support the second event. Now I know what you are thinking, we did it last year with Albany and Dalton. Well there is a reason we are not trying it again this year. Those events were FAR too expensive and did not nearly have enough volunteers. So overlapping events is out of the picture (for as long as possible).

A 5th event is definitely possible in a year or two, once Georgia has more teams, but this event definitely won't have 24 teams attending. It will be much closer to 30.

Location wise, I would like to see events in the filling places:
- Marietta/Kenessaw
- Gainsville
- Columbus
- Inner-City
And the put state at the Georgia World Congress Center or Philips Arena (expensive but definitely doable). The reason for these locations is partially because of where teams are located and partly because of venues.
