Depending on space (I have not been to any SoCal events) I wouldn't be surprised if SD or LA went to a two competitions in one format, like what Dallas did this year.
I think L.A. has the space to do that, if they plan carefully. If I'm not mistaken, SD barely has space for the teams they do have... But I could be wrong on that (I only attended there in '07).

San Jose, Silicon Valley, Sacramento, Madera, Los Angeles, San Diego are the current events in CA. Hawaii rounds out the current regional events in the proposed district area. That's 7 events; presumably, at least one new event would end up in HI to make it easier for HI teams to go to 2 events. That's 8. Add one more in the Bakersfield or central coast areas (or both), and one in Orange County, you get 10 districts; turn one district into the area championship (and make sure that whichever one that is has an airport nearby that can handle traffic to/from HI)... 9 districts, one area championship to start out with, then add more wherever the most teams are that have a hard time getting into 2nd events or wherever growth is wanted.
