Team 20, for example, historically always competed with New England Teams, so why can't 20 go to TVR, and then maybe 1 or 2 New England District events if they have spots?

5254 has been to off-seasons is MAR, but we can't take open spots at MAR events?

Just give regional teams the option to attend districts the same way other district teams from out of the region do. That's a decent short term solution IMO
As much as I'm all for getting regional teams the ability to play in district areas, I think in all reality very few teams will pay the money to go to an event where they can't qualify for champs in any way.
