From my recollection, the only District that voted as a block was D2 in favor of adding the 6U class.

Every other districts votes were split about 50/50. I do not think very many (if any) in D1 voted with their pocket book in mind. There are many thoughts on this issue and to allinate all those who voted against the proposal in the past as "money hungry" is not right. D1 does have a large pool of clubs, but we also represent about 1/2 of the states competitors. D1 had over 1300 kids competing at our sub-district tournaments last year. How many did D2, D3 and D4 have combined? Does our voice not count? I like the debate and think that with all the ideas floated on this site there is a solution to the problem. I would just warn against falling into an "its us against them" mentality.
