I love the theory of the district model but there are a few kinks that would need worked out for areas that do not have high density of teams thoughout a state or a predetermined amount of land.

We're from Iowa, and I'd love to get into a district system. We travel about 5 hours away for the events we attend. It would probably be roughly the same if we were in a district system. If we qualified for district championships, the result would be that we'd get three regular season events instead of two for the same registration fees, and we'd end up having to travel to an extra event. If the new events are still in our ~5 hour driving radius, that sounds like gravy to me. (and 12 qualifiers per event? Sounds pretty nice...)
