(Lack of) Value in the Regional Model

[Sperkowsky]

I think we overpay for things in Frc but it comes down to me with regional presentation. For instance take sbpli regional vs the NYC regional. The NYC regional is hosted in the huge javits center. There are teams from all over the world. There are Ftc, fll, and Jr fll to tournaments going on at the same time and there are even major companies like Goldman sachs, and google there. Everyone has 10x10 pits and overall the presentation is great. Then you go to the sbpli regional. You get a homy effect being in the small University. Your lucky to get 8x8 pits and everything feels kind of dark. It's still a great regional don't get me wrong. But what I don't understand is how you pay the same for both the events.
