Good point, but teams in low density areas already have to travel greater distances to attend their first or second event. For them, even if they skipped the second district event or the district championship (which we still need to pay for, BTW) they would still get more matches at a lower cost than they do for a single event now. Perhaps a streamlined path to the CMP could be found for those areas.
(In my previous post, I didn't give the volunteers the credit they deserve. Just because we aren't paying people to put on the events, it doesn't mean they just magically happen by themselves.)
