An absolutely HUGE issue with teams is the travel cost. If you can find a way to alleviate that - say donated housing from a local university for $5 a night, you'll probably lure quite a few other teams that wouldn't normally drive.

However, doing a UP event is going to be very difficult. Traverse city was one of the last districts to fill up because of the travel required, and you're talking about adding another 5 hours or more to that trip. Good luck!
