Re: District/Regional Format
What if teams could determine their equivant to "state championship" before they register for their districts. They would then compete in that area all season. For instance, what if 217 was getting tired of playing MI teams, so at the start of the seaon they decide to play in the Midwest area. It would solve the issue that U.P. teams have along with many other not densely packed areas, and would allow teams to intermix year to year. The only downside is travel costs. Which mean the intermixing would be limited to only a select few.
On a side note I had no idea teams were not supplying their volunteers. What if the number they needed to supply was based on the number of students on the team. I'm sure enormous teams like HOT and Chickens can spare a few more hands than say Martians or other small teams can.
