I am also from Michigan. The district model works for us because 90% of teams have two districts within an hour of drive time. This significantly lowers the cost for a team because we don't need to account for hotel costs and bus rentals. The end of the day means that we drive home and rest for free, rather than paying $100 per hotel room per night.

There is almost no way that all 30+ teams from Hawaii can pay for one mainland event and their own district event. Its just not sustainable.
Thinking about it now, you're right, but California still seems very logical to me. They have alot of teams there, you know. :3 I suppose we couldn't really have two Hawaii district, with the same teams attending each, that'd get a bit boring.
