Well, seeing as the BoD didn't change it, I'm pretty sure that the district model will be using the points system.

Winning a technical award at a regional doesn't make you more likely to participate in the Championship either. Granted, the actual Championship doesn't have a points system (and I like it better with the prepay option), so you can't really compare the two. Winning Chairman's gets you to compete in Atlanta, rather than just watching Atlanta and talking to judges, and I don't really know who would prefer it that way...
