That's an interesting idea. Not sure if I'm totally behind it, but it's a new way to look at the problem of district representation.

I don't think that that is guaranteed to work in the long term, because it doesn't address the underlying problem that you send fewer teams to Champs, you get fewer Champs points. Could we perhaps solve that by taking the median* of the calculated scores from each district and comparing them, instead of the sum?

* Or mean; I'm not sure if it'd be good to minimize the effect of outliers.
