I disagree. Districts definitely make a large majority of teams better and we saw it in the PNW this year:

-More matches: Practice paid off and Increase in Strategic play at team's second events and the District Championship
-Unbag Time: Even several rookie teams made significant changes between events and saw great success later on, because of this. *Huge shout-out to 4980*. Iteration is a huge part of engineering

The list can go on and on. Just getting teams out to more events means more opportunities to get awards and opportunities to perform well. This can be a great source of motivation and inspiration for some.
