Re: Should teams be allowed to attend multiple regionals?

I think a limit on the number of regionals a team can attend would make the competition a bit more fair. My team had enough trouble raising money for one regional this year, but the main problem for us isn't the registration fee, it's the travel costs. We're from North Dakota, and even the closest regional to us is in Colorado, nearly 800 miles away!

My team's trip lasted six days this year (including four school days) because of all the travel time. It complicates things a bit when your budget also has to include food and lodging for six days!

Limiting the number of regionals allowed to one or two would really help even out the playing field for those of us stuck out in the middle of nowhere.
