Re: Anyone teams for some aloha?

Finances and Number of Spots (if thats still an issue). I know we tried to go the first year, and there were only 5 spots available for "mainland" teams. We had a huge push to go that year, so when we didn't make it in, I think the enthusiasm died.

To raise enough money for flights, take the extra needed time off to travel, and to fund hotel rooms in a rather expensive destination is more expensive than going to championships, so its tough. Hawaii is a wonderful place, and the teams are great, but until it can be a cheaper location to get to, its going to be hard to get many other than west coast teams.
