Yes. What you gain is an extra shot at qualifying for WCMP and can potentially save money because at the start of the season if your intent is to make it to the WCMP you are budgeting $5000 (regional), $5000 (districts), $4000 (DCMP), & $5000 (CMP).

Its a risk but if you play your cards right you can qualify for CMP in week 1 rather than week 7.

For the districts, the additional regional is $4,000. However, I cannot find anything that precludes a team from taking the additional Regional and a third Qualifying Event for a total of $5,000 ... well, nothing besides the 6 weekends required...
