Tripple what has been said, be ready for St. Joes. Based on my calcs for districts this year, with a 3 year lookback, St. Joes is the most competitive Michigan district, be ready.
Be done by week 5, and drive, drive, drive, and break early. If there is a week zero opportunity on the west side of the state, take it.
Regardless of your strategy come out with it polished, ready to play.
If you are not picking be honest with teams that are. They will have scouted, they will have a good impression on what you can do already, if you are asked, make sure you are realistic with your assessment. Sell yourself, if you had made improvements over the event, and started slow, but finished strong, sell it and have data to support it.
Like Issac said, if you make semis in two events, you are probably golden. Win Chairmen's!
but awards that earn points are great and help tip the scale if quarters is it.
You could always move to Ohio?
(ducks and covers)
Good Luck this year!
