(Lack of) Value in the Regional Model

[EricLeifermann]

As someone who started in the regional system then moved to Michigan and fought the District system for several reasons(feel free to look at my old posts on the topic) and then moved back to the regional system. I miss the district system. A well run district competition is almost indistinguishable from a full blown regional. The district system allows those with smaller budgets to get more play, when they might only get 7-10 matches in the regional system. The district system also allows teams to qualify for championships who might not have qualified had they been in the regional system, without diluting the talent pool at champs.

On the whole those who think districts will ruin the experience(me in the past) have never competed in the district system and don't truly get why people love it.
