Many people think the answer is yes, but we know while this would be preferred, it is not actual an operational requirement. Teams want to play more. Who they play with is secondary to how often they get to play.
I hate hijacking this thread to talk about the Michigan system, but...

Jim post here is what I've been thinking as to why the District system would be great for a place like Hawaii. As long as they can generate 24 or more teams, they can play multiple events with lots of matches, and not need to worry about airfare to the mainland. The district system is practically made for an isolated area of teams.
