There's substance to this idea. I think it needs work, but I like the core of it.

When we reach a point where the majority of FRC is in districts by the current method of establishment, this should be considered. There will be areas that won't have enough mass to form their own districts, and don't have any neighboring districts that make sense to join. This idea allows those areas and teams to be integrated to the same qualification methods everyone else uses.

With that said, I don't think this is an idea to be implemented as early as 2017. We're going to have a hybrid system of the District Model and Regional Model for a little longer. There's just too much of FRC not in districts this point in time to make the OP's idea feasible.

So overall, great rough idea that could serve as the icing on the cake to converting all of FRC to districts. We just need to bake a couple more layers to the cake first.
