I'm actually convinced by some of the arguments in this thread.

Hold 9 district events.

3 in Rochester/Buffalo area.
1 in Capital region area.
5 in NYC / LI area (Bronx, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester)

Championships put in Binghamton. Even if a team can't make it to Championships, they have played in 2 events which is more than most get now. Most teams would be able to figure it out in the event they do get into Championships. Some NYC could travel together and split the cost of a bus.

I retract any objections I had. I think this would be a good thing for my team at least.
