In VA they are touting it as a way of playing more for less cash. That logic doesn't jive with my wallet. Can some folks who are already in districts comment?

This right here. I love the district events, but it takes every penny you have. Our team this year has a good shot at regional champs, and if we make it any farther, we wont be able to go to worlds. paying $9000 is something we don't have, and our small admin team (me and two others, yay) now have to try and convince our mentors we can get the money (and get sponsorship's to get the money) to go to worlds if we make it, and that gives us... oh, two weeks to try and get all the money so we can pay for worlds if we make it. As is we have barely enough to pay for the regional championships. Lucky for us we live super close to EWU so hotels aren't an issue. Other than that, districts have been awesome.
