Re: District event in the U.P. (michigan) please respond
There are 4 teams currently in the UP, 3 in the Houghton area, the western UP, and one in Sault St. Marie which is about as far east in the UP as you can get. The only way a district or regional competition will ever work in the UP is if the Up is split and the western UP doesn't have to be apart of lower Michigan's district. There is no way you are going to get 36-37 other teams from lower Michigan to travel around 10 hours, one way, to go to a comp. It would be much easier to have teams from WI and MN up here seeing as their average drive time would be closer to 6 or 7 hours.
An off season event is much more likely to get teams up here seeing as you can hold it in the summer and students don't have to take time off school.
