State lines often do not line up well with team distribution, and there are always teams that will get the short end of the stick. Ideally, once everyone moves to districts, teams will be free to choose the geographically closest events.

There are also "nudges" from HQ on how they want the district boundaries to look. I'm not sure the reasoning.
Yes, once interdistrict play starts, the boundaries won't mean much anymore except for the Championship events.
Once we go to districts we will be adding events in other cities.
