I am trying to figure this out, but not succeeding. How do you figure? Much was just posted about the number of qualification spots in FIM/MAR compared to an equivalent regional. Most regions of the country feature more qualification spots per team than in the district areas.

Furthermore, it takes FIM/MAR teams a minimum of 3 events (2 districts + Region CMP, though one could technically opt to skip one district) to qualify for the World Championship. That's 3 weeks out of 7 that are not available to attend an outside competition, and if you want to minimize the number of back to back competitions, it REALLY limits your options. Add to that the fact that because of the district system, you need to travel a potentially long ways to find another Regional.
