Why do we need to draw lines at all? If the regular season has a couple of destination regionals which allow a one competition shot at the championship for teams that for whatever reason cannot handle the district system (most obviously because of location), the rest can all be districts. Any team may attend any district event and earn points there. Then we host a number of championships. Everyone globally who is over a certain points threshold qualifies for the intermediate championship stage and they register for the championship of their choice, preference would be given to local teams, but there would be a little wiggle room so most everyone could select a championship of their choice. Those qualified from the regionals and the championships go to worlds.
