That's half the cost per play than 2 regionals or the same cost for 2x as many plays depending how you care to look at it.
We would not want to go back to a regional model even if we had the choice.

Sorry the cost per play view is similar to saying I get a better deal on a restaurant meal if I chew more. But agree the district model does seem the better way for our team too. However am sure many teams in CHP district would say different. I think changes will come to ease the district burdens as well.
Back to thread topic. I too love this program and want to see it continue to grow. But worry that the growth may dilute the product in some way. Does FIRST have a team saturation number? Can their be too many?
