i liked the way it turned out this year. the students will not miss any school this year. western and great lakes falling on school's easter break. don't think the kids like it .
not sure if this is a point to bring up because it might be only revelant to mid west area,but maybe first could look at where along with time. i believe western,clevland and canada all fall the same week. maybe something like if you can drive to a regional in say eight hours try not to put them the same week.
of course as big as first is getting you might be lucky to get into local regional in the near future.
