I think we can all agree that for the cases where a team is included in a district model and has to travel a ways for both district events--and other events are closer--the district system could be vastly improved.

However, I'm quite hopeful that as district models spread, more and more district areas will become open to cross-pollination and having teams from different district areas coming in to compete. Unfortunately, that's probably quite a ways off.
