The Super Regional is the next step between District Championships and Worlds. Basically when the entire country/world has transitioned to Districts, the concept is there will once again be too many teams for the World Championship, and that they will need another layer of qualification to finally make it to worlds. So a team would potentially play 2 Local District Events, District Championship, Super Regional and World Championship (or 5 events!) in order to win Worlds. FIRST mentions that it is very very very far off in the future, and they aren't even sure if the concept is needed or fully fleshed out.... but its a potential.
And I agree, the whitepaper is incredibly helpful and just like we always say "Read the Manual", anyone who wants to discuss districts should read that
white paper,
NE's proposal (maybe updated soon?), and the
FiM rules supplement.
