(Might be worth contacting 599--they hosted the Classic for a while, but I can't speak for whether they'd be up for hosting an event these days.)


I've gotten a note from someone who's looked at a lot of venues that maybe a third--at the outside--of high schools in SoCal could actually host a regional.

Eric,

Step by step logic here would be really helpful. I'll take it question by question:

1. Do we agree that Northern California has proven to have a sufficient number of already-tested high school venues to support 6 district events in NorCal?

2. Does SoCal needs 9 to 10 district events, assuming 175 teams?

3. How many district events could be covered from the current list, and how many more options do you think we need in SoCal to be "relatively confident" (whatever that means to you)?

4. How many High Schools are in SoCal?

5. Divide that number by 3 (the magic number from your source), how many potential venues to host a district does that leave us with?

6. Does this seem like enough options?

Just like Mark Leon always said, "Do the Math, Save the World!"
