mockup regional

[dpeterson3]

I have one problem with the regionals. No one outside of the team can ever show up. This year was harder because we got moves down town. Our team really has no support from our school administration or student body. I am thinking the main problem is they don't have time or the means to get to the regional to wach. I also think they have never seen one and don't realize how fun it is to watch so they don't care. My thought then is to bring the regional to them. (this thread is mainly for Saint Louis teams, but I thought teams in other areas might have the same problem and get some ideas from this thread). I know we are not the only team with this problem in the area. Here is what I want to do.

My school (Kennedy) has two gyms. I am pretty surre I could get use of one of them for a night or two now that basketball is over. If several teams came and we all brought our test floor and trailers, we could have a mock regional one night. That way, maybe people would show up. It would be closer to them and actually in the evening so they could make it(also don't like the fact that most of the action is during a school day). It woud also give teams a chance to test some code or other parts they couldn't test in the regional. What do you guys think. Does anyone else want to do it?
