And the argument that it would flood the system to allow "Regional Event" teams to attend districts is crazy, because in most of the areas affected by districts (Northeast and Midwest) district teams could flood other district events much more than "Regional Event" teams could. Outside of NY, Ohio, and teams west of Lake Michigan, everyone is districts at this point.

Cory is completely right. If I was FIRST, why would I not want an extra $3000 from a team registering for a second event?

It's one thing if FIRST really wants everyone to go to districts, but its not fair to penalize teams when we are not in control of whether our are goes to districts or not. Trust me, there are plenty of us in IL who wanted to go to districts, and thought/expected that we would with Indiana.
