Why would we devalue the district awards like this? Are we to believe that district events are now second-class?
My children receive better participation awards from soccer. And that only costs me $50 a kid for a season.

Because they have always been viewed as second class events. There is a distinction in FIRST's material and always has been where Districts and Regionals are different things. I don't understand this, we compete with the same robots, on the same fields, under the same rules. Why are we being treated differently? Oh, because we can run our events cheaper? That shouldn't mean we get second tier awards.
