Then I must have read something wrong - I thought it said they pay $1,000 less and get to play in TWO different events, tournaments, regionals, whatever you want to call them. Based on that, if a Michigan team plays in 2 Michigan discounted events and 1 regional somewhere else in weeks 1, 2 and 4 - then they would only have to pay around $9k. All other teams from Colorado, NY, CA, and so on, if they want to play weeks 1,2 and 4 - then they have to pay $14,000. Or if you just say 2 events in Michigan vs 2 regionals for other teams, it would be $5,000 versus $10,000.

That is why I said it is a huge financial savings to play in multiple events (not one). If I read that wrong and the $1,000 discount only gets them a kit and 1 single event entry, then thank you for correcting me, it is not as big an advantage. But if I read it right, then it is totally unfair for 95% of the teams to have to pay $5,000 more than other teams for a kit and two weekends of play. That is what I was all upset about, hopefully I was wrong.
