At $1000 registration, the 3rd play is a bargain compared to the typical costs associated with attending an extra regional - and when you consider that it gains you 50% more on-field driving and game strategy experience before district championships, it should be a real asset to the team, second only to building a practice bot.
Even more puzzling for PNW is that there are 2 teams that are STILL only registered for 1 district event - maybe they have special circumstances that make attending a 2nd too difficult, but its a shame to only claim half of what the registration fee paid for. I sure hope its not just a matter of confusion with the new district model.
I can't wait to see what the first PNW District Championship is like.

We were quite surprised and somewhat disappointed that more teams are not attending a 3rd event. Fewer teams are playing at a 3rd district event than played the more expensive 2nd regional. I sent out a couple of emails encouraging teams to attend a 3rd event but of those people who responded their concern was the time from school and work that was the deciding factor.
The two teams that have chosen to only attend a single event made a conscious choice, they were mad aware of the fact that they were entitled to attend two events.
I too an excited to see how the first PNW championship plays out.
