The problem with having the current year's regioanl winners, finalists, and chairmans winners is travel. It's hard to get reservations for 30 people to disney a month of 2 ahead of time, nevermind the regionals the week before nats, and its expensive.
Yes, it is hard, but it can be done. We did it this year. We were not pre-qualified for Nationals, but when we won the Buckeye Regional, we qualified. This gave us about six weeks or so to plan the trip. We had about 30 people going, including parents, and it wasn't easy, but we were able to find some good deals on airfares and hotels, and were able to do the whole trip for the 13 students and 2 mentors (the parents paid their own way). So, to all you naysayers, a quick trip is possible. You might not get the cheapest airfares, and you might not be able to take your whole 50-member team, but it can be done, nonetheless.
