Re: [BB 08/17/2011] Do you have a better name for it?
OK, so call the areas applying some version of the "district" model "Regions".


Michigan Region. California Region. Middle Atlantic Region. Midwest Region.

1st tier competitions within each region can be called "Regional Qualifiers".

The top event in each region could then be a "Regional Championship". Considering that these events probably were actual regionals at one point (Great Lakes), that seems to fit.

I'd get rid of the usage of the words "District" and "State" altogether. District seems too constraining, and eliminating "state" accounts for the likelihood that many future Regions will be made up of multiple states and/or portions of states.

I would presume FIRST wants consistent naming conventions used across all Regions, whether a single state or larger.
