I was beaten to the punch here, but here are *my* reasons:
  • Data collection. Events are responsible for tracking and sharing their results so that points can be awarded correctly. I suppose this could also be handled by teams if necessary.
  • Goal compatibility. The off-season offers unique opportunities to teams and regions *because* of its special relaxed atmosphere. Some events have no interest in adding more competitiveness to the off-season, and we respect that.
  • Cost sharing. Each participating event is chipping in for a trophy for the champion.
  • Resource sharing. Events that are participating in this tournament series have set their sights on big-picture improvements to FRC, even if that means helping to grow FIRST *outside* their immediate region. They're sharing lessons learned about successes and failures and they're working together to share resources like field elements and key volunteers.
