How exciting! Best of luck!

The timing is kind of late though, like for our region (SoCal) this is after regionals. So maybe treat this as extra practice before heading to state, but if the kids aren’t state bound might be hard to motivate them to do a satellite tournament. 

Anyways, it’s great to have options and always supportive of schools hosting them! Takes a ton of effort!

Best wishes!
