All District FIRST?

The district system is a totally scalable model. If Hawaii wanted to move all of its 3 dozen or so teams over to a district model, it's fine. It works better when you "combine" regionals like Philly and NJ into MAR, DC, Chesapeake, and VA into the NCR, and Florida could fold in Orlando and South Florida into its own district system, play with 72-80 teams, and it would still work. Michigan's first year of districts also had nearly the same team density as Florida does right now.

I used the same team per square mile that FiM and MAR used which came to 150 for Florida. Florida right now has 76 teams spread out over pretty much the entire state with a lot of bald spots within the state. Once those areas get populated, the district model will most likely be applicable.
