Or make it easier for people to attend more competitions. Thanks to the Michigan set up we had 62 matches for $9500, as compared previous years where $11,000 would have gotten us between 14 and 32 matches depending upon how far into the eliminations we would have gotten.
Even if the total district system does not spread all over the place right away, I think the other regionals need to look into how the Michigan districts saved money and implement some cost cutting measure. Or increase the number of regionals so there are fewer teams at each regional and thus more matches for each team(this is where the majority of the bang for the buck comes from in Michigan).
I really hope that the district system can expand to other areas and give more teams the chance to have as fantastic a season as Michigan teams had this year.
