I imagine that after everyone has paid their $5,000 and any expenses have been paid for, there's probably still quite a bit a money left. It would be great if that extra money goes towards helping teams that are financially struggling or something of that sort, but something tells me that's not the case...

If somebody who's heavily involved in their district system could weigh-in on what the finances look like, it would be much appreciated.
The 5k for the initial district registration also includes your kit don't forget, plus the two events. That's why I didn't touch the initial 5k. I believe a fair way to do it would be 5k initially with a free DCMP as Michigan was intended to be.

Jarad also has valid points, how many tiers are too many?
