This sounds well thought out to me, and reasonable. However;

here's  ANOTHER IDEA:
If there is an event in the region, there should not be a regional practice that
month....the event would be the practice for that month.  If the region is going to
start working together and supporting each other we need to support activities
already on the calender.    The months that there is  nothing else going on in the
region the practices could rotate between Bonwicke and Crossroads Keep.  IMHO one
regional gathering/event/practice/what_ever a month should be enough, anything else
seems like over kill, especially to those traveling to events/practices in other
regions.

I always try to travel and attend as many regional practices/events as I can; but
for those who can't travel,  a monthly regional practice  will pull away some of
their groups fighters and leave them with few to no fighters at  their local
practice once a month.   I am in favor of  the practices but one a month every
month, plus regional events, plus other events is going to burn everyone out very
fast and then we'll be shrinking not growing............


May we meet on the field as friends,
