At their current team counts they can live with 1 to 2 events a week for 8-9 events and a state champs, which would only require FIT to get 2 fields.
5 weeks of events, 40 teams per event, 2 events/week = 400 spots.

That's enough room for 200 teams with only 2 fields. We definitely need more teams and we need teams that will be sustainable for many years.
