While I don't agree with this within the current Championship qualification rules, I think the giving of points/spots could be incorporated into the district system. It would allow for teams to play within another region without claiming to points for that region. This could also encourage teams to host visiting teams in hopes the visiting team could share any points they won.
For example, if team 51 was good friends with team 78 and wanted to invite 78 out to Michigan to play. If 78 earned points at that event, they could give them to 51 or any other team they thought deserving at the event. This eliminates one of the negatives of the district set-up and would encourage teams to visit other regions as many teams do now. There could be some simple giving rules to avoid teams taking advantage of this system, for instance, you can't give points to anyone on your eliminations alliance, or rules of that nature.
