Re: New Competition in Atlanta
Currently I do not think an offseason event is a good idea in Georgia. Yes, we might be able to pull one off but majority of the teams attending one would probably be from other states. We have experienced a great boom in teams with the coming of the Peachtree Regional and most recently the Championship, but many of these teams are just building up an infrastructure that would allow them to attend an offseason event. Does this mean that it is a bad idea. No! For one thing the Regional Committee is looking at hosting one next year. I don't know what has become of Tom Bishop and his plans, but I have not heard anything recently. This area does need an offseason event though. It would be lots of fun.
