Re: All District FIRST?

This is a wonderful concept, but wouldn't be very balanced. For example, states like California, Texas or New York have a very large number of teams (and people) compared to the more rural areas of the country. This already puts big limits on certain areas (Idaho just recently surpassed the number of teams needed to host one regional, and hasn't yet been able to plan one), and would only be harder to work into a district system. States with large numbers of teams (Like Michigan, who pioneered the district system) could feasibly convert to districts in the near future, but aside from the densely populated areas of the country, I doubt we'll be seeing districts as a widespread FIRST system any time soon.
