Good feedback, Jeff.

OOC, is there one anywhere in the country yet? I couldn't find one, so this may be the very first spring repeat in the USA. We feel there's a big need for one.

We have unbelievably huge facilities at this school, and could host one heckofa Repeat (and no, that's not its name... ). I'm not even sure yet in the long run if we'll limit it to 24 teams like most Repeats do. Given our space, we could probably even handle multiple fields.

The initial size will depend on the interest level, up front costs, and logistical limits (like how much help we can muster, or how many teams we have time to play). Who knows? If this takes off, it may increase in size each year until it rivals a Regional.

Honestly, our biggest challenge will be working around all of the sports using our facilities, which is why this poll is vital to us. We have admin approval already. We just need hard data on when people WOULD attend before we try to schedule space usage.

If you feel your team may be interested in attending, please vote on this right away. The response level may also factor into whether or not we do this at all.

Also, if your team may be interested in attending our spring repeat, feel free to email me directly (or PM me) with your team name, number, and email contact address for our announcement elist.

Thanks!
