I agree with Gary, Regional and District have the same "exclusionary" feel to them, so that is a moot point.
I simply suggest keeping the name "districts" and then State (or Regional, as the situation requires) Championship. Nobody in Michigan ever thought that we would be locked into a certain district when the system was announced, since I believe they stated that we wouldn't be. That automatically removes that concern of people thinking they are locked in to a certain district, connotations of the word "district" are irrelevant when there is a strict definition. (I think that makes sense, I know what I mean in my head but I can't form a sentence that seems to make total sense.
