Jason,
I am a bit confused now. If CA was to become the district model that Michigan is, wouldn't it be impossible for Hawaii (outside) teams to attend?
That was more my concern than the option of being able to still attend other regionals.
Even if traveling to the midwest/south is a few hundred more than going to CA, that's an insurmountable task to overcome, considering the amount of people on a team that attends.

I'm also with you on the fairness and flexibility that FIRST will probably incorporate as these changes for the better occur.
