I don't think there have been enough cases of teams dropping out due to the transition to districts to warrant any documentation or response from the DPC's, but I don't have any hard numbers on me. I think if it was a big enough issue, we'd hear about it. As long as events are spread out through the region to match population distribution, and the dates don't conflict with other events (I'm looking at you, Georgia...), the transition should be simple enough for most teams.

Also, I'm going to be blunt and say that any team that can't handle the transition to districts was never going to be sustainable in the long run anyway.
