A new off-season event in the East.
How many teams are you hoping for? Have you reached out to NC as well?
What influenced your event date?
Sorry for all the simple questions. Just thinking of some others might ask.
Best wishes on MARS being a huge success initially and for years to come.

We are hoping for 24 teams. We have reached out to North Carolina as well, as we are expecting many teams to attend from out of state. We picked the date, October 7th, as there are not many other Off-Season events that day. It is also between the other two major off-season events in the Chesapeake region.
