[FRC Blog] New Districts, Frank Answers Fridays, and More!

Definitely true. I'm thinking that in order to have 2 events really close to a team, that would need near tripling the teams in the district. That is the hope for down the line. That was what I was trying to explain for the SC District

I have to say that seeing three more regions move to a District model is promising. It has been my team's observation that here in PNW the quality of competition has risen alot since 2014 when districts were implemented in PNW. In addition to more competitive play I would say that the local FRC community has improved in quality. I certainly remember more of the Washington teams than I used to (but maybe that is becuase I have played with them more).

How many teams did PNW have when it went to the district model?

I don't have exact numbers but I believe that it was around 140ish.

As Long as TBA isint wrong, every team from 4900 on started in 2014, and looking at the PNW district 18 teams above 4900 have been in the district. If im not wrong there was 134 teams at the end of the 2013 season, or when the PNW model was implemented.
