I think this mostly falls under "There may be some geographic areas in which the standard District model does not make sense. If we find this is the case, FRC will still continue to be supported in these areas, of course." One of the biggest issues with the district model (IMO) is how it's so closed off - you only compete within your geographical region. That issue needs to be solved for international teams and areas that simply don't have the population density to support a district model - we have to find a way to allow these teams to continue attending multiple regionals if they want, instead of cutting off all their options by closing off areas for districts.
