My point is if teams were only allowed to compete in two events. Most of the events in weeks 4 and 5 would be a lot smaller and therefore teams who compete in the later weeks have less teams to compete against and therefore have a more likely chance to place higher and score more points. Then therefore have an advantage of teams that compete earlier on in the season.

These are just some ideas to create equal opportunity for teams. I have probably already spent too much energy on this issue. Some real quick math offers some options:

Option 1:
132 teams * 2 districts each = 264

264/7= 37.71 about 38

*Cap the team limit at 38. Two districts would have 37 teams, the rest would have 38.

Option 2:

132 teams * 2 districts each = 264
*Eliminate one district. The remaining 6 districts will have exactly 44 teams each. (264/6=44)
