If I'm not mistaken the actual value in this comes from the elimination in competition between PNW and teams (and reduction between teams) for that fundraising money correct? By eliminating that competition (and reducing the competition between teams) PNW hopes to get more total funds from sponsors. So for most teams to see a reduction in cost, PNW is going to have to succeed in pulling in more money from those sponsors?

Reducing the competition will also likely mean that the disparity in amount raised by different teams will likely decrease correct? As sponsor money shifts from teams to PNW (which I'm only assuming will happen) then individual team funding will drop (but this will be okay because event costs will also drop).
