I myself am still a little confused at the district system having never attended one or really read a thorough explanation/description.

Ontario (where I'm from) has some of the most intense competition in all of FIRST with powerhouses like 188, 610, 1114, 1241, 1503, and 2056. Introduction of the district system in Ontario has been a hot topic since 2012.

Currently, there are three regionals in Ontario (GTR-East, Waterloo, GTR-West), with a fourth planning on being introduced for 2014. From the rumours, a district system is in the works for introduction in 2015, with three or four additional districts added on top of the existing four regionals that would have been converted.

From what I've heard, Western Canadian (Calgary, AB) and Festival de Robotique de Montreal (Montreal, QC) would remain regionals.

As I won't be a student member any longer in 2015, it doesn't really affect me. But, the prospect is interesting.
