Yes. What you gain is an extra shot at qualifying for WCMP and can potentially save money because at the start of the season if your intent is to make it to the WCMP you are budgeting $5000 (regional), $5000 (districts), $4000 (DCMP), & $5000 (CMP).

Its a risk but if you play your cards right you can qualify for CMP in week 1 rather than week 7.

I don't believe anything new has been officially announced recently. I am under the impression that planning is still under way, last I heard they've been scouting out more possible venues to add to the line-up.

341 is a Hall of Fame team. They have an auto-bid to the WCMP every year.

Even so, generally, I don't think the reason teams deny DCMP for the sole purpose of allowing teams another spot.
The teams in MAR this past year that qualified outside of DCMP(excluding waitlist) were 25, 103, 341, 2016, and 365. 25 and 341 both went to the Las Vegas Regional, and one of the main reasons they didn't go to MAR Champs was that it was near impossible logistically to get their robots and equipment back in time for the championship, 2016 won Chairman's at Buckeye, and 365 went to the Chesapeake Regional that same weekend.

To be clear 341 qualified for Worlds via CCA, they didn't win a regional.

When teams opt out of their District Championship, the event becomes much less competative than it could be if the powerhouses actually attended (see MAR champs 2013).

For the districts, the additional regional is $4,000. However, I cannot find anything that precludes a team from taking the additional Regional and a third Qualifying Event for a total of $5,000 ... well, nothing besides the 6 weekends required...
