4472:
2014 – 1 regional, 9 matches, travel (1:45)
2015 – 1 regional, 11 matches, local (0:30)
2016 – 2 district events, 27 matches, local (0:25), travel (2:30)

All teams are generally fans of the district model. We liked all the normally touted benefits of districts… more matches, more iteration, less time off work/school, competitive DCMP, more local teams rewarded and lots of interaction with teams we love playing with. Costs were approximately the same as prior years but we were able to attend more events. DCMP at UMD was excellent (VCU would have been as well). On the down side, seating/sight lines weren’t always the best at the smaller events and we missed seeing/playing with some of the out of area teams that would frequent the regionals.
