I think a good intermediate solution is along the lines of what Brendan is saying.

Create a system (thats far less manual than we currently have) to calculate and live update rankings for the districts.

For example, this year in NE, there was only one week 6 event with something like 36 teams competing. With 54 NE CMP slots available, statistically there were MANY teams that were locked into NECMP at the end of week 5. All of these statistical locks should have been offered a bid as soon as they were locked in. While many of these teams knew this and started planning ahead of time, teams on the bubble heading into their week 6 event could start looking at the feasibility of qualifying and come up with a plan for making it or not.
