This is the same situation as 27 or 217 competing at Buckeye this weekend. They're competing outside of their district. Appropriately so, 27, 68 and 217 do not get points for FiM based on their performances outside FiM.

In addition, 68 could not compete for Chairman's or Engineering Inspiration, as that would require them attending the Indiana District Championship. So they literally could not achieve the same number of points as any other team there, excluding 1701, which is also in the same boat (being from Michigan).

68 should not get FF points for Indiana. We don't allow them to be drafted in Indiana, so they shouldn't get FF points for competing in Indiana.

Your logic seems sound. I'd be one in favor of modifying the rules now or in the future to perhaps only include the first two events in district that a team competes at. There are other factors like bowing out of playoffs out of state, or at third plays in their own region that may mess with a team's average. It adds an inconsistency across teams that are drafted. Certainly something worth discussing in my opinion.
