For the Michigan district I would agree with Frank but for the other districts(specially the Indiana District) this ruling just brings it back to the regional system where having a season of sustain success might not be enough, because a lower ranked team in your district could go to a regional and have one good weekend which would knock a deserving team out of champs.

I think a better system would be to allow a district team to play in a regional but they only make wildcards. If a team is good enough to win a regional they should be able to make enough points to win a slot for CMPs in their districts, if not they won't steal a slot from a team utilizing the district rules.
