It's definitely not that simple, for a few reasons. First, not everybody will make DCMP, and there's no guarantee the same fraction of upstate and downstate teams qualify. Second, if the criteria is total cost, you have to take into account NYC hotel prices, food prices, and the cost of keeping a bus In NYC, which are all higher than they would be upstate.
What I'm hearing a lot of in this thread is that a NYC DCMP would be extremely difficult for upstate teams, and an upstate DCMP would be extremely difficult for NYC teams, almost impossible for most. I'm not sure how to resolve this.
Also for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure that at least some of the New York RDs are meeting with FRC staff in St Louis to discuss the plan for New York districts.
