Inter-District Play for 2017

You can do a Week 4 and 5 in-district, so weeks 1-3 could all be before your first event.

This is too late for teams to adjust their "home" district event schedules, and too late to attend regionals or a third home district, so teams have to basically take a bet on the district event being available to them.

I think if FIRST/the districts really wanted to encourage inter-district play, they should at least open up registration the same time as 3rd plays.

Ontario and Michigan will be pretty close, I think?
