Or first or second, that is the big difference. Before, district teams needed to go to two district events before points didn't count, or they could go to a regional for their first or second event for practice. Now an outer district event can take that place. District teams with enough resources would go to regionals for their first or second event to get some practice in so they could get enough district points in their two events to advance, but cross district play changes that. It's also cheaper with cross district play.

I think this is a huge proactive step to get things ready for more district's. It answers the question about teams being able to visit other district's when more come around, which is one of the fun things about regionals.
