SURE...
Use Texas as an example... I'll say that AFTER the Top 8 teams domiciled in Texas (some prominent Texas FIRSTers would argue "Top 6") you get a pretty steep drop in competitive (on the field) capabilities...
SO, being generous with my estimate, in the District Model, you'd have about 8 teams regularly qualifying for CHAMPIONSHIP that probably wouldn't qualify as often as Alliance-WINNERS in the Regional format.
District Model, IMO, broadens the eligibility for CHAMPIONSHIP to LESS competitive (on the field) teams...
