Re: District Event Explanation
With districts, you get two events for the registration cost of one. However, where with regionals you know at the end of the event whether you earned a berth to CMP, with districts, you are fighting for a berth to DCMP (District Champs), which generally correlates more closely with your seeding rank than with whether your alliance won the event. Looked at externally (it doesn't look like LA/MS will be going districts any time soon), it seems like a wash, but most of the comments I've read from those who've been through the transition seem to indicate that it's an improvement over the regional model. The only ones I've noted with a negative reaction to the change are those who need to raise additional funds for hotels to attend two district events vice one regional. It also means that you won't find out if you're qualified for CMP until much too late to raise the funds for registration or travel; you essentially have to have it in the bank, or at least promised as a grant or loan before DCMP.
