There were a few teams from MAR last year who weren't planning on attending CMP but scrambled to get the funds in about a week. Personally, I like the district model better because you get more playing time and a chance to make improvements between competitions (think 2 Thursdays at regionals instead of 1). I think the ranking system is very fair and consistently advances only the best teams. I just wish there was a little more heads up on registration for DCMP and CMP. We had to raise $4000 for DCMP registration in 4 days! (we did it though)
