They chose this venue because the costs are much lower than anywhere else, the venue is large and has been great in the past. Quote:
Absolutely. Kevin and Deb noted that the district system is being created to improve the quality for local teams. After every team in Washington and Oregon is taken care of, and Idaho/Montana teams have received their invitations, there is a possibility that others may be able to join. We have always been glad to have teams travel to our events, but we are growing fast. I was glad to have 4334 in Seattle and I hope we will see more of you in the future!

Re: Pacific NW District (Official)
So If I'm understanding this correctly only Northern Idaho teams will receive the invitations, not the Southern Idaho teams?

As of right now, there are only 21 teams in Idaho and Montana combined. Even with our projected growth, I would guess we'd be able to make space for all of them. The PNW is certainly not trying to leave anyone out. |

Re: Pacific NW District (Official)
It does make sense that the northern Idaho teams would be more likely to come, I just figured I would check. Thanks

FIRST's long term goal would be for the PNW district to include all of ID and MT as well as AK but in the short term teams are allowed to make the choice that suits them best. The PNW district does not intend to exclude the S. ID teams. Edit: ID teams and where they played in 2013 season. Spokane 2122 2130 3145 3315 3513 4520 Portland 2130 3145 4106 Utah 2122 4178 4106 4175 1566 1891 2594 1569 3562 3251 4086 Montana teams Spokane 3483 1695 1696 Utah 3126 3483 Western Canada 1691 Note there were a number of unfilled positions at the Spokane event and the Portland event.

Re: Pacific NW District (Official)
There was a very good EWCP podcast from last year that had an in depth discussion about the districts. I'd recommend anyone who wants to hear a lot of district system "inside baseball" give it a listen.
The Jim Zondag whitepaper referenced above is also a great read. |

Districted teams are required to register first for a district event before deciding to attend a traditional regional. I don't believe it's fair to allow outside teams to select a regional event first and then opt to compete in a district event whereby they hurt the chance for local teams to advance to higher levels of play. |
