I personally would like to see the Southeast US be a district encompassing Tenessee, Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina. Peachtree this year had 60 teams, and that's with 18 rookie teams. That growth alone would make it so we need another regional in Georgia. South Carolina is experiencing a lot of growth as well, and so are Alabama and Tenessee. But that's a far way off, because there are other regions with more teams than us.

I think Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee(at least the eastern half) would be a good district while North and South Carolina would fit in between that and the Capital District. Right now theres about 75 teams in the Carolina meaning we're about 10-15 teams from having enough for a small district system.

Again, I am aware (as are a lot of other people) there is ongoing discussion regarding additional regional(s), but I don't know anything more than that. Sorry that this got longer than I intended when I started typing.

With a number of regions moving towards districts I'm surprised there hasn't been any discussion about an open districts system. My idea is that everyone would get two district events, one would have to be in there region but the other one could be at any district event in the country that has room. This would fix the problem for low density areas or remote areas like Hawaii and allow them to have a district system without having as many teams as a larger area like New England. They would only need to have one event and then the teams could travel anywhere they want for the second one.
