Now, I realize that plenty of teams (671 in 2013) go to multiple regionals, and for them that district scenario is the same or more than they pay in registration fees every year. But that was not the majority: in the same year, 1541 teams only went to 1 regional.
Are you surprised that going to four events costs more than going to two? The regional model of qualification for championship simply wasn't scalable. A change had to be made eventually, and the model they're changing to allows for more plays for less money. Aside of a few fringe cases, I really don't get the teams that are complaining about cost on this one.
