If teams still want to go play in other states and areas, nothing prevents teams from doing it. How many teams from Mississippi and Louisiana come to Texas events already (not many)?

2011:
Dallas - 3666
2012:
Lone Star - 364, 1818, 3337
Alamo - 2080
2013:
Lone Star - 3666, 3672
2014:
Alamo - 3337
Dallas - 3616
4 teams from LA/MS just came back from Orlando and 3 teams went to Arkansas. (We're also making the hike to OKC next week). What's to say that teams won't travel if they have the opportunity to go to multiple events for $5000 and 3 for $6000. Just thinking out loud here.

There's already going to have to be a lot of driving just in Texas for the districts, why not add a few hours to Nola or L.C.?

Right it's only 2 from Houston to L.C. and 5 from Houston to NOLA. Whereas it's 6 from Lubbock to Austin (good location for TX Champ.)
