New England District System Proposal

So, if NE FIRST is similar to MAR, then the existing venues would support what is needed.
With the point system it's easy to restrict attendance to what the venue will support.

From the proposal:
"We will expand the size to at least 80 teams, and provide two fields with the same amount of matches in other districts. The combined regional planning committees will form to become the District Championship Committee and bring the best that each NE event has to offer. Locations have not been decided as of this time."

I was very surprised to read this, it's a decent idea but I can't think of anywhere in New England with enough space.
