I was on mobile earlier, but I finally have the time to type up something a little more thorough. There are a few options currently available to New York.

1. The entire state forms one district. As discussed in this thread, if DCMP is not in NYC, it puts a huge strain on the city teams. If DCMP is in the city, upstate teams have a bit of a travel issue, but it's certainly possible. Another possible issue is finding enough places to put district competitions. You would have Rochester, Troy, maybe Buffalo or Syracuse, and then 4 or 5 events in the city/on the island.

2. Upstate New York forms one, Indiana-sized district. District events in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Troy, with DCMP basically taking the place of the current FLR. In this case, downstate would be left in a bit of a pickle.

3. Western New York joins with Ohio, West Virginia, and Western Pennsylvania. Again, this only solves the problem for the upstate teams.
