There are issues with venue, field, and volunteer availability that you should consider. An example, in Minnesota we'd need between 10 and 12 district events. We currently put on four events, so instead of two fields that are in use on 2/7 of the weekends (and used by others on 5/7 of the weekends), we would need three dedicated fields.

Regarding your schedule:

So a team that plays a full district schedule and advances would play on something like this schedule:

Week 1
Week 3
Week 5
Week 7
Week 9

or (worse)

Week 3
Week 4
Week 6
Week 7
Week 9

With weeks 5/6, 7, and 9 including travel. Will be a burden for some teams.

I agree that thinking about the long term goal helps guide a short term strategy.
