Just a thought, going along with Chris's sentiment earlier:

If NY State was in districts, NE was in districts, and MAR was in districts, (and oh why not, the Ohio Valley was also in districts) and (the important part) nobody cared which two district events any given team went to as long as they went to two, where would NYC, Upstate, and Albany area teams tend to go, given current team distribution and current/theoretically proposed event locations?

Now, just to add more factors: Assume that each District system had its own championship, no combining. Where do you put the DCMP? Conversely, assume that NY State, NE, and MAR combined for one DCMP (or whatever you want to call it). Where do you put that one?

Just a fun, semirandom thought experiment.
