drawer / Competition & Game
A regional model where teams earn points across multiple events to qualify for their District Championship.

where you actually meet District
The district model spreads the risk: you play two events, earn points for qualification finish, playoff result, and awards, and the sum decides whether you advance to your District Championship. Practically, that makes event one a legitimate place to learn — a rough first weekend is recoverable, and plenty of teams deliberately treat it as a debugging event.
Free and structured, and none of them need an account to read.
