I would agree. Organizing a multi-state district requires a lot of communication and organization that doesn't exist at the moment.

I'm on the fence about districts right now. There are some downsides with teams having to raise additional funds to go play at district championships. There are upsides too, mind you.

For us, it's a right royal pain because we now will likely have to find hotels and accommodations for students at multiple events along with the district championship. We also have a lot more paperwork than the average team for transporting some of our students due to the nature of our host school (It's a boarding school).

I'm very much on the fence about this and I'm curious if these smaller district events are going to be as well organized as the more focused regionals were... particularly with the change in venue and the field equipment, AV setups, etc.
