Regionals: $5K = 1 event, 40-66 teams, 8-12 matches, one shot at Championships (win, wildcard, win certain awards).
Districts: $5K = 2 events, 40 teams each, 12 matches each, points from matches, seeding, and awards determine whether you go on to the next level (District Champs, or Champs if looking after District Champs)

District teams can play in Regionals or in other Districts if they want to (and can get in after 2nd regional registration); Regionals teams can't play in Districts at all.
