Observations:

• The ubiquity of district events on this list. Of the unique events listed, there were 11 district events, compared to 5 regionals. This list is 69% district events, which comprise 59% of non-DCMP/CMP events next year.
• District breakdown: 5 FIM, 2 NE, 2 IN, 1 ONT, 1 MAR

Great to see my FIM St. Joseph District on this list!

However, since all of the FIM District events* have several unfilled slots now (i.e, many teams are waiting to see which event they will get), there is a strong likelihood that the competitiveness of any given event will change when the rosters are filled. Stay tuned.

*This also applies to many events in other Districts, and many Regionals.
