1. Assign all pre-qualified teams to the nearest CMP

2. For each Regional or District Championship, assign qualification slots to the nearest CMP.

3. All teams are assigned to the first CMP that they qualify for during the season (in the event that a HOF team in the Detroit CMP bucket wins a regional in the Houston CMP bucket, etc).

4. After qualifying for CMP, any team may place their team number on a list indicating a desire to swap places with a team at the other CMP. Teams may add themselves every week if they wish as long as they haven't been swapped, but once a team has been swapped, it is no longer eligible to be swapped back.

5. Once a week, all of the teams on the shorter of the two swap lists are switched to the other CMP. An equal number of teams on the longer list are drawn at random to be switched back (so if the numbers are equal on both sides, all teams get swapped).

6. (Optionally) If wait lists are still a thing, each non-qualified team can choose their first and second choice CMP (which might just be one event if the team cannot reasonably travel to the other, etc.) Teams are drawn (how doesn't really matter) from the wait list and assigned their first or second choice depending on availability until all spots are filled. Alternatively, wait list teams can be "drawn and swapped" according to their preferences if there are leftover teams that wish to be swapped to the other CMP.

This system maximizes cost reduction out of the box, guarantees equal numbers at both championships, allows teams to change their CMP for any reason (or guarantee that their CMP is fixed and therefore book travel), and treats all teams as equals (early qualifiers do have more opportunities to switch championships, but this helps to make sure there is enough "liquidity" for later teams to have someone to switch with...and with districts, the majority of teams qualify in the final week anyhow).
