With that said an idea thrown around before that could work in this situation, is in order to compete in a district you don't technically belong too (i.e. Capital NY teams who want to compete in NE), is to sign a multi-year agreement to become a part of that district. Agreements would have to be signed at least 6 months prior to registration if not earlier. While a team could move after their agreement is up, ideally the culture should be once you decide on the region that makes the most sense for you, you stay there.

While something like this would certainly help many "borderline" teams as districts grow, it would also be a nightmare to manage. As one example, when Minnesota finally goes to districts, it'll be interesting to see what happens with Western Wisconsin and North Dakota teams that currently come to our regionals... Do they get included in the district for their ease of travel? Do they get excluded so the Minnesota State High School League can sponsor a state tournament in week 7 instead of opting out of a broader district tournament (hypothetical, I have no idea how things will work with the MSHSL when Minnesota goes to districts)?

And you make some kind of commitment on supporting the district. Not just show up a few weekends a year for competitions.
