I agree that teams should work to have more funds than that, but for those that can't manage to do so, waiting to hear on grant money is a really big deal.
District events are nice because you get 2 districts for the price of 1 regional. This year in PNW districts if you make the cut as one of the top 64 teams in the Northwest you get your 2 districts and PNW championship for one price. Great deal.
