California District Proposal

Then teams registered for their second event. Then Gail take teams off the waitlists one at a time and assign them the remaining spots based on distance, team needs, try not to have back to back events etc. It is very tedious. I think I can help automate that if there is a need for it. Every year I create the list of home events for teams to send to FIRST. I already set up a similar spreadsheet for California to calculate the distances. I just need to put in the district venue locations.

I am fairly certain that MI is the only district with home events. I think the NE waitlist is first come first serve just like for regionals, but I'm not entirely sure.

Edit: Never mind. This is wrong.
