I would love to see Ontario move to districts sometime.
My favorite part of the district system is that it rewards more than just the winners. Finalists? You're in! Semifinalists? Get to quarters or semis at your next event and you'll probably be in! Didn't win Chairman's or EI or RAS? Well your awards are still worth 5 points each!
Winner-take-all events can be frustrating for the teams that almost win. 1114 and 2056 are very difficult to compete with. Moving to districts means that you don't have to worry about being at the same event as the powerhouses, and means that teams won't have to travel far away from their home towns to compete at easier regionals in order to qualify for champs.
