It would be interesting to see what percent of team's budgets are spent solely on the Nationals. About half of our total budget is sucked up for the Nationals. And with 340 teams attending this year, that is big-time bucks.
I really believe that, if not for the expense of the Nationals, there would be many more teams out there willing to make a go of the Competition. We were fortunate to be able to attend last year (our rookie year) and this year. But, I feel sorry for the teams that hear all this neat stuff about the Nationals (and it IS neat), but cannot afford to attend.
Don't get me wrong -- I love the National Competition and there is nothing like it anywhere. It is just so expensive for teams.
Thoughts?
John
