Thanks!

Not speaking officially at all. Districts almost never go over 40 teams, really hard to fit them into high school gyms and it starts screwing up the points system fairness, etc. I'd guess 32-40 but like PNW some of our further away events might be as small as 28. Ideally everything is run like FiM that has events that are all very close to 40 teams so that teams aren't incentivised to go to smaller events (same number of points, go to fewer teams at smaller events) but we probably can't do that because of how much area we have to cover. No matter what each district event normally has 12 matches per teams.
