So the district model (Base, no 3rd or 4th district events) would cost you $14,000 for the season. $5,000 registration (includes your two qualifying district events), $4,000 DCMP, and $5,000 CMP. If your team, before the district model, attended 2 regionals and CMP a year, switching to the district model saved you $1,000. (5k x 3)

Now, I have no idea what your team's situation is financially or location-wise, but the district model offers more events, thus increasing the odds that one or more will be close to home (no hotels/long bus rides). Maybe I read it wrong, but I cant figure out how switching to the district model doubled your yearly expenses.
