The neat thing about change is that we never know what initiatives will develop or come from the change, be they small or large in concept. Teams will continue meeting teams from around the world but this could also be a possibility for helping countries and large states develop ways of coping with their size and distances while expanding the program.

Teams are full of surprises and innovative ideas and many are willing to share what they've experienced and learned. The off-season could become a wonderful time for travel, training, sharing knowledge, and fun. I often think where one door closes, a window opens. That goes along with the glass 1/2 full approach to things and could be applied to this pilot program.
