I can't suggest Postgres with the GIS tools enough.

Though it is a huge pain a lot of the time, it really is great and it avoids this whole world being flat issue.

I've also used rethinkdb to do some simple geo related queries and am investigating using redis for really basic stuff. (3.0 adds basic geohashing but I'm pretty sure it's actually going to run into the same issue you did here based on how geohashing algorithms divide space)

I think I can export it as a high quality PDF so zooming in would be more useful.

Can't you publish this to your esri account and share it with other people, then they could download the map and open it on ESRI website.

Maybe I don't know. I don't even have an esri account although I can make one.

My knowledge in the program is really limited as I don't have it at home and it's only been 2 months of school.

So based of this map and our 2016 events it looks like Detroit will be the "Districts" Championship, with a few regional teams. While Houston will be the "Regionals" Championship with one districts teams (PNW).
