Yes that is what Kevin Ross announced during the most recent district model informational webinar.

It was announced as a blanket rule, however since we did not have limits on pit power at CWU and EWU in the past at those venues power may not be limited to 3-4 amps per team, but until there is an official ruling from Kevin otherwise, assume you'll be limited to that 3 amps at those events as well. I have no idea what the power situation might be at the OSU event since we've never had an official FRC event there before.

At the district CMP things will be as there were in the past at the Autodesk Oregon Regional since we will be in the same venue.

I can see some potential problems in the eliminations rounds at the district event. There will be no place to charge near the field and about 2/3 of the teams will be in the quarter finals meaning there won't be a lot of batteries to loan, nor teams with chargers that aren't in use to charge your batteries with.
