Is the international branching of FRC, a good thing?

In the future, I think the district system will be adopted everywhere and it will evolve. In the future, when more countries have events, I think there will of course be district regions; some being whole countries and others being parts of it. (This would be for the especially large countries like the US, Canada, China, etc.) There of course would be district events and district championships, but I could also see a national championship and international championship happening soon. It would happen as follows:

For the bigger countries like Canada, the US, and China, there would be multiple district regions in the country. At the district championship, the top 20% or so would go on to the national championship, and the top 10% or so would then go on to the international championship.

As for how it's run and controlled, don't worry. I'm certain by then that FIRST will have established their World Command and declared the first day of build season a worldwide holiday.
