Except I thought that was what they called the smaller areas within a larger region hosting district competitions. I'm confused.

The only time I've ever seen a map actually divided into numbered districts" was a map of MI, and I think was to show how teams are/were divided into "home districts" ie. one they are arbitrarily signed up for. There's been no such division like that in MAR, but the 'first level' of competitions has been referred to as "district events'.
My guess is this is just to further distinguish/seperate the district model from the regional model, so instead of going to "
regionals" or "regional championships", you're going to the "district championship"
