We normally only have the budget to compete in one regional, where so many of the district teams have played many times when the CHP comes, so again that's a disad for us.

But the big question I haven't heard addressed here is how do all of you get off work for all of these tournaments? I get two weeks vacation a year and this year I've used it all on regional, CHP and IRI and off-season. My wife is totally not pleased that I use all my vacation on robotics. Do these little events fit into one day? Driving too? One-day events would make my life better.
Many (for teams; not necessarily volunteers) end up starting Friday afternoon (ie. starting at 4PM) for loadin/pit time/sometimes practice matches, then full competition Saturday and Sunday. Of course, not all are, but ones that take place in high schools tend to follow that schedule.
