It's the teams that are in the district system that cannot request to go to a traditional regional instead, and vice versa.
For the California Tahoe area high schools like Truckee, they are in the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association. So for Truckee football, they have played a championship game in Reno, Nevada. This is an examples of how population densities don't follow state borders and that borders can split a population.

So in the application for a FIRST team, it would mean that if a team gets the first choice on their preferred local district event and the benefits of a more local district championship. The key point is to give a mechanism to help team get to their local events irregardless of their state boarder. I am proposing that an out of district team has another option to having to find an open slot. They would apply to join a district and thus count toward district population for event planning and are part of the district and thus entitled to all those benefits. Of course, an application can be denied.

So for those BC schools, I think they should be able to apply to join PNW if they want to and PNW can decide if they can join or not.
