I'm still un decided as to if letting teams pick what's best for them is good or not. I completely agree that the logistics of this would be a nightmare, but I do see where teams are coming from at the same time.

With that said an idea thrown around before that could work in this situation, is in order to compete in a district you don't technically belong too (i.e. Capital NY teams who want to compete in NE), is to sign a multi-year agreement to become a part of that district. Agreements would have to be signed at least 6 months prior to registration if not earlier. While a team could move after their agreement is up, ideally the culture should be once you decide on the region that makes the most sense for you, you stay there.

This allows teams to be in the district that makes the most sense for them, but at the same time prevents a constantly fluctuating amount of teams a district needs capacity for.
