What if we get super nasty and let the cream rise to the top...

Even out the district numbers and do away with subs...
We have seen instances where 2 kids at one sub and 6 in another and only only 6 at districts...
You want full brackets?
You want the best from each district?

Do away with subs!
Now I know that makes for a huge bracket in some cases but they do it for 6 and unders and at national tournaments. It might even have to be a 2 day event.
This gives every district an equal chance to get the best kids to state.
Thats my flash in the pan idea... Im open to others!
