It depends on both the cost of that particular event, which does vary and how much the district charges for additional plays. Based on the average PNW district event costs and our additional play fee ($1000) adding another district event, assuming you get enough teams to actually have an event, would result in a net "profit".

This is what I have been told if this is not the case someone can set me straight. 
Also in the wake of adding a new event some teams may drop their first or second events to they can attend the new event if it is closer so it would become a "primary" event for a good number of teams. |
For each team in a District the district gets to keep $1000. And yes adding an event could certainly cause some teams that are already registered for 2 events dropping one of those and adding the new event.
