Regionals:

• Bigger tournaments
• Anyone can come and compete
• Winners and major award winners go to World Championship(s)

Districts:

• Smaller local tournaments
• Limited to teams within the district (for the most part)
• Two tournaments for the price of one
• After everyone plays their two district events, top ranked teams in the district go to a district championship event
• Winners/major award winners/top ranked teams at the District Championship go to World Championship(s)

The main benefits are:

• Removes the "win or die" system from regionals, introduces a better ranking system that rewards consistent performance over the season
• More tournaments for the same amount of money
