People seem to have lost sight of the fact that this is a pilot. Of course you don't launch it everywhere at once. You have to see if it will work.

Mary mentioned that her child is in FLL. Perhaps you don't know that FLL got its start as a pilot program, in Michigan, 11 years ago. And that the FLL World Festival started as a pilot program the last year the championships were held at Disney. Look where it has evolved now.

And yes, the point of it is to get more competitions for less or the same money.

Maybe this will work, maybe it won't. But we won't know unless we try, will we?
