Cleary Michigan is doing something right with grants when a single state can boast over 11% of all teams worldwide. It's a good problem to have.

The short (and unofficial) answer on splitting is no. I simply can't think of a single proponent of such a plan. Also, at this point it's likely that even with 11%, Michigan won't qualify everyone at MSC.

I've heard rumors of 2 districts (weeks 1 & 2), but so far they're been just that, rumors. Hopefully FiM can get their act together before 3rd district registration. Would love for teams to switch to earlier events so there's more space for us to play a local 3rd in week 5 or 6 (local being especially important what with the travel to MSC).
