Especially depending on the format. A 400 team event split into eight divisions is incredibly weak with so many teams qualify off of the waitlist.

I'd rather save some cash and either play at a regional, another district, or travel during the off-season.

I know for several teams, winning their district Championship is their current goal and has already had a more competitive atmosphere than Champs. Why even go a weak Championship?
