New York Districts?

Also i just noticed on the map either were not represented,misrepresented or I don't know where Utica is on the map. But it does show just how spread out upper New York is and something that can be fixed in the future.

I think people are proposing having DCMP in the Albany metro area, but not at the RPI venue. Tech Valley would become a district event in this hypothetical scenario. Perhaps the Championship would be in the Times Union Center.

Personally, I just wish we could get rid of district borders entirely and teams would go to DCMP events located geographically closest to them. Make most regionals into "district" events. Get your points at any event you want. Advance to one of a dozen or so Super-Regionals geographically located around the country.

This would take some work, of course, but I'm tired of trying to draw perfect lines on a map that make everyone happy but wall off areas from outsiders completely. If teams traveling to "easy" districts really is an issue, then require one of the two events to be one of the five events closest to their team location. Can't we just play wherever is best for each individual team's needs...
