But that problem will go away in time as everyone moves to districts.

I'm honestly more concerned about this rookie 10pt rule.

And the fact that when inter-district play is allowed, who wants to travel to some random highschool gym.
I know I speak for our team when I say that we would love to play against teams that are local that we don't play against right now. 2056, 1114, 111, 71, and a host of other phenomenal teams are located geographically just outside our district system.

The whole 'school gym' issue is very overblown. It's about playing good teams. High level competitive competition is far more exciting than arena style seating. Believe me, I'm not thinking about the building we're in when we're playing the likes of 469, 33, 67, etc.
