I think the issue is that it's literally impossible for MAR and FiM teams to qualify for Worlds based on initial registration. This can be very hard on some teams, though Region Champs provides a very good and inspiring season goal for others.
Of course, it works both ways: we get 2 events--almost triple the matches--for the price of one, is it really reasonable to get 3 including a "big show"? Personally, I think everyone's "price of one" should go way down, but it is a pro/con of districts.
