About having two different Nationals, and having the finals in someplace like Washinton DC... I think that's a great idea, and it can be done.

Making travel reservations would not be that tough... the harder thing would be to get the students out of school for the additional time of a National Finals in someplace like Washington DC.

For this option there real choice would be when the have the DC Finals.

It could take place two weeks after the Disney-Nationals. Teams can do the travel planning... if you think they can't, ask all of those Little Leaguers in Williamsport PA next week. And none of them are sponsored by corporations, just by parents and communities.

Getting the students out of class for another 3-4 days would be tougher than the money.

A better solution would be to wait until school is out for the DC Finals. This extra time would provide these things:
1. Gives teams a chance to plan their trips
2. Gives FIRST staff a chance to breathe after the Disney-Nationals.
3. Gives more attention to the teams who are going to the finals (community and Nationwide).
