4) All teams that remain opt-in have district events planned around their location

I think this could work marginally well.

I do see your point though. If a district region has 100 teams near each other, and then 20 teams in a single removed location, this method could definitely break down quick. Imagine 19 of those 20 teams opt-out, leaving 1 team a part of the district structure, but geographically removed from the other 100 district participants. That is a real bummer for that 1 team, since they will have to travel to attend both district events. If, on the other hand, no team could opt out, that 1 team would likely have at least one district event local to them, given the 20 teams in their region that all participate in their district.

Just some thoughts.

I think allowing teams to buy into a district would be interesting. This could possibly allow some teams that border a district area and even international teams to participate in a district for a year. This would obviously need to be done well before registrations so the DPCs have the number requirements they need.
