So Texas could have had 8-10 more teams at worlds if it was a district.

Well, since I'm relocating to Texas(Dallas) in the next few weeks and I'm currently on the MAR Board, I can tell you, that championship slots are percentage based. The way it works, is the size of your district in comparison to the others.

So for an example.....(This is only an example, #of teams is not accurate!)

Dallas 50 teams
FIM 200 teams
MAR 120 teams
PNW 80 teams
Total 450 teams

Of the total,
FIM gets 44% allocation of championship slots for districts
MAR gets 26% allocation of championship slots for districts
PNW gets 17% allocation of championship slots for districts
Dallas gets 11% allocation of championship slots for districts

So 11% of 50 is 5.5 teams to go to championships.
This includes the 3 winners, Chairmans, & EI.
So no extra teams based on points would get to attend.

If the Dallas area grows and adds more teams it would get more slots.
Now, if there are extra slots, Dallas teams that win outside events take away from those available slots. So if a team wins in Oklahoma, that slot is now used by a Texas team and is not available to be given out based on points.

I sincerely hope, once I get settled in the area I can get more involved with there and hopeful provide some guidance, experience and insights to the district model.
