Quote from Jim Zondag's Paper on the District System.
Quote:
Q4: “District Events have fewer teams and are in smaller venues than many Regionals. Does this
diminish the experience?”
A4: No. In fact, many competitors in our area will tell you that the exact opposite is true. It is a lot
like seeing a great band in a small club vs. in a huge arena. Small venues often have a much higher
energy level and get the fans closer to the game. Smaller events allow teams to get more playing time.
Smaller events allow teams a better likelihood of winning the event and a better likelihood of winning
awards. Smaller events allow our high school robotics sport to be played in high schools where it
belongs. Now we have home games every year. Probably the biggest visible difference between a
Regional and a District is that Districts play with the arena lights on, which many of our competitors tell
us that they prefer.
