I think that to keep it affordable they will get rid of some of the spectacle. Also the district events are supposed to be 35-45 teams, so they will be smaller than many regionals.

Hopefully this gets made up for by an outstanding State Championship.

This will definitely be one of the questions we ask our kids at the end of next season.

P.S. I think MI has right around 120 teams. Next year should be about 130-140. 7 districts x 40 teams/event = 280 event slots = everybody gets 2 slots.
