Re: Experience promoting districts in Minnesota

What could motivate the RPC to reject the district model besides the lack of volunteers and extra work?

Coming from an international team means that we've never really understood the disadvantages of the district model besides simply not being able to participate in the region (happened to us with FiM in 2009), but from what I've been reading on the forums, districts has a huge potential for everybody involved.

For example, when people and mentors talk about FIRST Districts in California, it's scary to consider the possibility of being unable to continue participating in the Los Angeles regional, but the benefits that the district model would bring for such a dense region as California (whether it be SoCal or not) seem to be huge. The cost per qual match presented here also seem to be quite convincing for all the extra effort I assume must go into a district system.
