Volunteers -- Solutions/Ideas

[IKE]

Problem: 7 events - 3 current events = 4 new events i.e. 4 events with at least some new apect (event crew, event location, ....)

I think that at least a couple of the planned District events hold off season events so they should be familiar with the formatting, but at least a couple may be brand new.

Solution:
Experienced teams with travel budget agree to travel to distant district to help run the event.
Local teams build up a helper map of the area (resturuants, hardware stores, hotels and lodging).
Young teams will need to be understanding that experienced teams are there to help and compete, not trying to find locations with less competition. There always seems to be an awkward balance where some are inspired and some are upset. I would ask the upset teams to realize this strategy would be for the benefit of the event.
