I could get quite expensive if your team has to travel 2-4 hours for both district events and the district championship and potentially move on to the Championship.

Do you have any idea of where the committee wants the New England Championship to be held? Manchester seems like it has a central location and its also the home of FIRST, but Boston is considered to be the major city of New England and probably has a lower average travel distance for all New England teams (I might be a little biased towards Boston).
