Then that reasoning could be used for every team not in a District System. Why do some teams get a district advantage and others don't?

This is a devil's advocate post not a literal gripe post.

...because sometimes life's not fair. Frank blogged that they would have a solution to this for 2015. As irritating as it may be for some teams, this upcoming season will be the last time it's an issue. These last few transition years have been tricky in several ways with FIRST making gradual changes each year towards the district system. Thankfully, these changes will make FIRST far more stable and cost efficient as it continues to grow.
