Maybe we just have to define the district carefully to exclude the NW corner of the State.
I can see playing in another regional. You have the chance of advancing.
What's the point in playing in another district if you don't get points? I guess if that District is week 1, then you get some practice before your Districts matches that count.

Lately the trend looks like it's toward Districts being full states (Indiana, Georgia, North Carolina), or several smaller states mixed together. It would be nice to allow some teams to opt out, but based on what happened with teams in the rural Pacific Northwest and MI's Upper Peninsula, that might not be allowed. Maybe a good goal would be, if Districts come to WI for the 2018 or 2019 season, to start enough new teams out west for either a Madison or Eau Claire event.
And yeah, a big goal of attending a 3rd District event that doesn't count could be for practice. You could also give a rookie drive team a shot, give younger members more time in the pits, and get to play with different teams.
