According to the MN numbers last year you'd need 11 events based on a 40 team max per event.

I agree. See below.

MN 192
WI 41
IA 9
Dakotas 5
Total Teams 247

Max Number of Teams per Event
40

Number of Events Needed
12.35

Number of spots (13 events): 520

Volunteer quality would suffer for the first year (like it has in just about every other area that has transitioned to districts) but it would recover after that.

More importantly, what MN is lacking currently is a non-profit running FRC in the state. We have a few organizational issues we need to fix before anything else.
