Observations:
  • The ubiquity of district events on this list. Of the unique events listed, there were 11 district events, compared to 5 regionals. This list is 69% district events, which comprise 59% of non-DCMP/CMP events next year.
  • District breakdown: 5 FIM, 2 NE, 2 IN, 1 ONT, 1 MAR
Great to see my FIM St. Joseph District on this list!

However, since all of the FIM District events* have several unfilled slots now (i.e, many teams are waiting to see which event they will get), there is a strong likelihood that the competitiveness of any given event will change when the rosters are filled. Stay tuned.

*This also applies to many events in other Districts, and many Regionals.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
