It's melodramatic, but why are district teams treated a bit like red-headed step-children? (No offense to the red-headed step-children, of course)

From what I gather, FRC complained it was costing over twice as much per team registration fee because district teams get two events per registration and the districts average fewer teams than the regionals. So, rather than making up the difference, the districts agreed to accept less expensive trophies. They then dropped the ball when they failed to oversee the transaction, which enabled FRC to supply trophies that were way less than half the cost.
