Many teams here compete with more than one organization; BEST, VRC, etc. My own team has done BEST since 2009, and many of the Colorado FRC teams compete with us. I agree that this year's game is a good one. A nice thing about BEST is that there is no cost to compete, which is a pleasant fundraising break. The games are usually overly ambitious, especially considering how slowly most of the (small) robots move. I don't know that I'd put BEST into the same category as FRC, but it is fun and a good early season experience for our new students.
