Are you serious?

I know from talking to people from IFI that their competitions will be CHEAPER. It will be cheaper to run the competition, and it will be cheaper to register for the competition. As accessible as FTC already was for teams, it should be even easier for schools to start teams and competitions, with VEX/IFI.
