I believe the current plan is to keep district events in the West, South, and East NC, and to have the DCMP in Raleigh. For our team, and others in the Raleigh area, that means we have two travel districts and qualify for DCMP before getting a chance at a "close".
A lot of the financially struggling teams (until very recently, us included) that could not afford a second regional are enthusiastic with the guarantee of a second play. We had been a one-regional team who just raised enough money to go to a second regional, but districts is a much more exciting proposition.
