The actual registration cost of the regional is not at large as the travel and hotel costs. I appreciate the grants we have receive, as they cover almost all of our registration fees. If Texas goes to the district model, maybe they will consider travel costs for those teams that travel longer distances, which require hotel, meals, etc. that local teams do not have.

Through the OSPI grants (Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction) Washington FIRST Robotics was able to add travel stipends to the usual grant funds for those teams that would need to travel more than about an hour or so to one or both of the nearest district events. Hopefully your state can do something similar.
