There was hope of getting an NC-SC-GA district going for 2016 but apparently that fell through. GA decided to go district alone apparently and NC had already committed. I don't know the story of how the decisions were made but it's cool to think of what could have been.

Also, I think a regional in Alabama has been announced.

I also remember hearing this. I think it's called the Rocket City Regional. Should be in Huntsville for the coming year.

The map provides an interesting perspective. I edited the map a little, giving it a more logical color scheme and updating Alabama to reflect the Rocket City Regional. Thank you, Microsoft Paint, for making this possible.

Oklahoma had 58 teams last year, which is more than Indiana, right? Throw in Arkansas (30 teams) and have OKC / Tulsa / Little Rock district events with a championship someplace in there and you have a pretty good district. Especially since Texas is going to districts, soon.

Yes. Indiana had the smallest district with 49 teams, 3 district events, and 32 teams were invited to the district championship.

Also, just some constructive criticism: this might be easier to read if you put all the states with regionals as one hue with varying brightness's. Such as pale red, red, dark red, etc. States with both distrcts and regionals could be a mix of your regional color and your district color. It's just a little hard to get a feel for the distribution of data if each category is equally unique when the categories themselves are not.
