My concern with grouping vast areas into districts is how to compete effectively in such a model. Since in our case every other regional is separated by several thousand miles of ocean.
I believe the idea behind districts is to give more competitions for the same registration fees. Hence reducing the per match cost significantly while increasing engagement and competitiveness.
Any travel at all would be the opposite of saving money in our case. Which I am sure is the case for many off mainland and international teams
As it is many Hawaii teams have to fly and air freight their robot just to compete our local regional..
There is just no easy solution to this... Guess they need to move Champs here...
