Location of Georgia District Events

[DonShaw]

I am going to make a statement here about what I perceive districts should be. The events should be smaller than what we currently do in GA. The events should be no more than 24 teams, is the concept of district smaller events with more of them? Look at Michigan, they hold them in High Schools and can do that due to the smaller size.

We all heard more plays per dollar by going to district and I did not see that come about, for many teams the chance to qualify for Worlds is higher. I would like to see some other teams show there cost per play from last year. Personally I believe there are teams that can afford the registration that includes two events but the travel cost only allows them to participate in one

I do believe some of the holdbacks to having more events is the cost to GAFirst for fields and equipment and not to mention the limited number of volunteers they pull from.

If the state DOE ever got on board then the high school avenue may come to play but without their support I do not see it happening.

Oh, and please refer to my post last year about the district model and cost and locations of events. Like it or hate it, it is a reality of the dollar ruling life. We go where the dollar comes from via sponsor and support.

Not happy about the travel/cost but have to live with it until another viable solution presents itself.
