As far as the District model, I am not a fan. There seems to be too much crammed into 2 days, and I think it takes the fun away from the competition. It could have been a product of the how long the field reset took (in which they did a great job with what they were given, the GDC will have to take a long hard look at doing that again). Teams should not be forced to play in a district if they would rather play in a regional. I know I will get some rebuttal about the forcing statement, but essentially you are forced to participate or take a chance at getting into a regional after everyone else has selected.

The venue was hard to see unless you were way up in the stands since it was on the same level as the playing field, I like the arenas much better. The only thing I liked about the venue was the parking! Zero security, zero organization, and wayyyyy too much deliberation on any tough decision!
