All District FIRST?

States with large numbers of teams (Like Michigan, who pioneered the district system) could feasibly convert to districts in the near future, but aside from the densely populated areas of the country, I doubt we'll be seeing districts as a widespread FIRST system any time soon.

Not soon, no; but when the teams per area gets to a high enough quantity it will. So, as FIRST moves toward the complete district system, some states will become left out for a little bit as more and more join the district brotherhood.

When that happens (Which will be really amazing for FIRST), do you think that some states may need to be further divided, or will their Championships send more teams to Worlds?

I dont think states themselves will be parted off. I think having it states as a whole would be better. I think at first, the regions will send different amounts of teams to Worlds depending on the size of the team in the state. But after a while FIRST will have to designate a specific number across the board for each Region Championship; by that I mean an equal number for each Region.

Where do you think the next few district areas will be?

Minnestoa, then California, then the Northeast, then Texas, than Northwest. After that, I have no idea. lol
