Re: The District System

I was hesitant at first but the cost reduction outweighs the negatives. You pay $6500 for 24 matches(12 in each event) plus another $4000 for an additional 10-12 at District Championships (as was case at MAR). 36 matches in one year is hard to argue compared to 8-10 matches that certain regionals have. The districts are much more low key with fewer teams per event. This far outweighs the past costs where you would pay around $6000 for 8-10 matches, if you lose 4, it becomes hard for certain teams to win and you go home with a sour taste in you mouth. Spending 6 weeks to build a robot just to have it lose within a day. With districts, you can at least have another shot.
