If/when inter-district play is introduced then maintaining consistent event size across Districts becomes important. The difference between going to the smallest 2 events in PNW and the largest two in MAR is just over 12 points! That's more points than almost 30% of teams scored in the inaugural New England district event.

Very cool! Someone brought me the idea of building this sort of site for FiM, but I was (and am still) too backlogged to commit to something like this.

This is the direction FIRST needs to be heading with the district system. It's 2014. We shouldn't be manually updating Excel spreadsheets and uploading them to tell people where they're ranked in their district. Very nice job!

I'm glad you enjoy the site! Certainly feel free to have your FiM Leadership folks shoot us an email or PM and we would be happy to add them. The system is built to handle as many districts as we want. We're hoping that once other districts see it in use for a year, we can all get on board and have a unified system.
