I really don't see any other options for us.
G32 (from the 2015 rules)--use the 2016 equivalent. Send the subset, but if you (somehow) end up with fewer students showing up than needed to drive, make sure to invoke the blue box. And make sure to point out that the reason is because of the scheduling of the districts. And of course make your concerns known to NEFIRST and FRC HQ ahead of time.


There is also an option--though it isn't often used, it has happened--for a district team to only play one district event. Unfortunately that doesn't result in a refund of part of the entry fee...
