Local district events are more like varsity sports where families, schools, local government, media, and businesses come to cheer and become involved.
That's where I've been getting the "less professional" vibe from. Admittedly it doesn't sound like the end of FIRST as we know it. And if Kettering was pretty good, as people are saying, then I guess I don't have to worry just yet.

On another note, are teams going to be shoehorned into district events by location or will they be allowed to sign up like any other regional?
