Hadn't thought of how to fix it. NE is less of an issue, there seems to be a fair bit of intermingling and I know FIM has similar intermingling. Fairly certain MAR is decent too. PNW/IN I haven't looked at in enough detail.

The obvious would be apply a correction fact to points earned at a district. How to compute that? Idk, I've been poking around with the Simple Rating System that's fairly popular in the NFL. That might be a solution. The other option would be give an incentive to attend events with more diversity. However, both of these are nonstarters for various reasons. (SRS is more difficult than a numeric sort, and incentivizing other events is nonstarter for political reasons)
