Re: District/Regional Format

Well Michigan is the test subject of the format because of such a high concentration. Some teams can not even afford going to State Competition even with qualification. Being able to attend a low cost District event allows teams to participate in events with a lower budget. The main issue as everyone points out is that a lot of areas do not have such a concentration of teams. If district events become more common in the FIRST Robotics Competition perhaps more teams will become created? In effect the high concentration of team will become existent by the very system that worked for high concentration teams. Maybe this can work?
