Now, however, it seems they're being labeled "Districts".

Except I thought that was what they called the smaller areas within a larger region hosting district competitions. I'm confused.
I feel like lately Region and District have been used interchangeably, at least in the community. I've heard the Championship event tier in a district system called the District Championship and the Region Championship. Just like I'm still not sure if I'm technically in the New England Region or New England District. Even though the local entities have somewhat settled this, there is clear inconsistencies across FIRST with this.

While I understand this isn't exactly the most pressing issue at hand, it wouldn't hurt for FIRST to come out with a standardized set of terms to settle this and avoid a little confusion down the road.
