Re: PNW introducing new funding model
Seems like the ELI5 version of this is something like this: PNW wants to make the DCMP registration fee not be a sudden burden on financially strapped teams and simplify the registration process for teams, while also giving sponsors an additional concrete cost for them to cover, while also fulfilling the obligation it has to USFIRST.

If I recall correctly, FiM wanted the DCMP to be free back in 08-09 and FIRST wouldn't allow it. Now here we are in 2015 and the PNW decided to find a different way around getting the DCMP money to FIRST. Hopefully it's better for everyone.
