On a related note, would the number of missed school days be different if/when Minnesota adopts the district model? Looks like the Michigan FRC State Championship is a Wed-Saturday event.

NE Districts Example
125 Attended 3 Districts, a regional, DCMP, and WCMP (all told, 6 official events)
One district was Sat/Sun, One district was during school vacation, WCMP was during another school vacation.
So, we missed 2 days for districts, 2 for DCMP, and 2 for the regional. All told not too bad. And we compete more than almost any other team.
