Personally, not only would I like to keep SBD, but I would like to get rid of the unbag times before the districts. Unbag times defeat the purpose of SBD. (Unbag times between events makes sense to fix things.)
I've been on teams that went to regionals, champs, and districts. Districts are the same length of time as regionals (3 days), so why is there a different structure to the unbagging rules? It makes no sense to me.

Thanks for the clarification. I have a better understanding of your perspective.
I'd rather extend that unbagging rule to regional teams than deny districts that option. We'll agree to disagree on that point.
It's a good debate to have. However, the survey didn't address this middle ground that already exists within the district system.
