That would enable teams to select two districts that were within a daily commuting distance for all of the Island and NYC teams. The up state teams could have one to replace the Tech Valley and another for the Finger Lakes region and a third elsewhere in the state.
This gives most teams a choice of 2 out of three events to choose from within commuting distance. This eliminates hotels and other associated costs. Having the DCMP in Albany would be somewhat equidistant for all teams.

I just wanted to clear up a bit of a misconception here, it seems you have a total of 6 district events in this scenario. Assuming a typical district size of 40 teams, this would limit New York to 120 teams. A quick search tells me that 171 teams competed from New York this season, which would require nine 40 team events to give everyone two plays. My guess would be two of those go in the NYC/LI area and the other goes upstate somewhere.
