I don't see how you think 150 teams is a magic number. Michigan started around 120 teams, MAR started at around 100, and I think NEFIRST will start at around 160.

The district system is a totally scalable model. If Hawaii wanted to move all of its 3 dozen or so teams over to a district model, it's fine. It works better when you "combine" regionals like Philly and NJ into MAR, DC, Chesapeake, and VA into the NCR, and Florida could fold in Orlando and South Florida into its own district system, play with 72-80 teams, and it would still work. Michigan's first year of districts also had nearly the same team density as Florida does right now.
