Re: Michigan, be honest, how is the district model?

For the most part, the details of the financials are not really a topic for public discussion.

FRC has a standard participation pricing model, with the district "double registration" being the only real exception. In the case of the MI State Championship, as with all FRC events, the registration fees team pay to go to the event do not go to fund the event itself. The event itself is funded by the event sponsors like GM, BAE, etc. The registration fees have little to nothing to do with the costs of running the event.
