I should have re-phrased my question: Does anyone have info regarding what FIRST in Florida leadership is thinking about eventual transition?

On a personal note, I think we have almost enough teams to host a district with 4 districts. Although, at the current growth rate, I would agree with you and extend to say we'll never have enough teams, since we have had net loss of teams the past two years and this year we lost almost 25% of the teams that competed last year! However, I'm of the belief that we would have better retention rates in a district model, as teams get more for their money.

My biggest concern, however, is getting the volunteer base ready, as that is one of the largest hurdles when adding events quickly. I know others have also expressed concerns about the loss of the international teams that we compete with every year.
