Exactly. Either they can try to qualify for St. Louis through their District Championship OR try to qualify through an outside regional. Then it wouldn't be possible for them to use up two spots, which this whole issue is really about.
And I disagree, the two district events would not be at all pointless. Where better to get great driver practice and find ways to improve your robot than at competitions to 'warm up' for your World Championship qualifying event, especially if your performance at the districts wouldn't matter?
I can almost see it...there...on the horizon...
