Re: PNW 2017 Home events

There are district provisions to add a third event for an additional $1000. There are no provisions for a fourth event.

I assume the “home event” is just the initial registration request. I really look at the two Auburn Events, and Wilsonville & Oregon City pairs as the same team geographic pools, just different weeks.

Philomath has had attendance size issues. Last year to make this event viable; IRS, Skunks, Bear Metal, Lions, High Tekerz and Apex all traveled from the Puget Sound to help bring this event up to 30 teams. Which helps explain some of the distance traveled.

Some teams will minimize travel & costs and just do the closest events. Other’s will choose to try out further away events.

We’re likely the only Puget Sound team to attend one Oregon event each year of the district model. - Wilsonville (2015 & 2017), Oregon City (2014), and Philomath (2016). Guess will have to add Lake Oswego at some point!
