Way too big, by a factor of a lot. BTW, if Colorado is included you'll need to include Wyoming and at least part of Montana as that's the current closest event to teams in that area.

You're probably better off with "Northern Midwest", "Texas" (who, I might add, is beginning to look seriously at districts from some CD posts this year), and "everybody else". "Northern Midwest" would be the Dakotas, Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska if they form any teams. (There's a natural split point in the Dakotas that might send some portions of those two states to join MN/WI/IA if those three went district, but that's outside the scope of this discussion.) "Everybody else" takes OK, KS, and MO and possibly adds in Arkansas for the district zone.


The reason I say it's way too big: Can you really imagine driving for TWO DAYS to get not quite all the way across ONE district? Neither can I. And I know from experience that it's a two-day drive from the teams in South Dakota to Fort Worth, Texas. Not that anybody would do that for districts, you understand, but just the sheer size of the proposition.
