This does pose the question, then, would it make sense for lower NY to join with MAR?

I'm definitely not a fan of tiny districts confined in small geographic areas, but in also not a fan of strictly going by state lines, for these reasons. Maybe we need to stop thinking about state lines and more about where the teams are. Even districts that have multiple states still seem to follow state lines for the most part.

Kind of, and yes. Upstate usually refers to everything that's not the city or the island. The eastern part of upstate (capital region) would love to join new England. These are the teams that would play in new England regionals before districts started. For the Western upstate teams (Rochester region), we are far closer to Ontario, Western PA, and northeast Ohio than downstate or new England.
