PJ I wasnt aiming at Matts age or status In fact I only just now looked at his Bio, It does say "Student" but thats besides the point. I dont think its as easy as Matt seems to make it sound that to gather $30.000+ is a snap. We have on the back of our shirts all the sponsors who give us a reasonable amount of funds. This is $100.00 or more. We have dozens of names but no single company loves us enough to give us $30.000.
I am a Photographer and if I know today that I have a trip to Florida in April I will not book any weddings or jobs for that week. People dont book their weddings 19 days or even three weeks prior to the wedding so the chances of me booking a wedding or other job after the Regionals for the same week of the National is ZERO.
I have no problem losing the Money that I could make if I went to Florida and believe me its considerable but it makes no sense to lose the money if I dont have a guarantee that we will go. So do I not book the work and make the money and just keep my fingers crossed or do I book the work make the money and stay home.
Gee, some of you are thinking maybe you could give the money to the team but then I still could not go to Florida as I would have to work and the team needs Adults.
Is the -19 days between the Regionals and the Nationals fair for me. I bet there are others who are in the same situation as me.
