I believe this was the original reason for leaving the 1v1v1 system. Also, triangular (or hexagonal) fields don't fit as well as rectangles..

I would like to note that an FRC team in every high school doesn't mean an FRC team for every high school. One team can potentially reach a few schools, especially in urban, even suburban, areas. We may only need 10,000 FRC teams to reach every high school.

As for expanding the district model, Israel seems like a very good place to try it, once they reach 100-ish teams. Not many foreigners are coming in anyway, and every team could reach every event. At 60 teams, they currently only need about 3 district events, but the National Championship wouldn't be much more competitive outside of more events per team. Still, as Israel grows, that may be another possible district system success.
