Likewise, none of our teams have attended a district tournament. Chesapeake has one of the best robotics atmosphere out there (or at least to the events I have attended, not counting Champs and IRI). The staff is great and welcome anybody. We want to make you feel at home.
Some of the differences though, Thursday is a practice day (all day). You have to get inspected to go out on the field for your matches. Once inspected you can also fill in for other non-inspected teams if they can't make it. Friday and Saturday morning are qualification matches and each team usually gets between 9-10 matches per regional. Although with the speed up of scoring and penalties, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to squeeze in more matches. Saturday afternoon is the eliminations and awards ceremony.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any venue specific or area (Baltimore) specific questions. Good luck and safe travels!
