Given the economics of inter-district play, it makes perfect sense for IndianaFIRST to make those slots available if they can manage it. And I certainly see a northern event getting more of those plays since they're closer to FiM/Ontario. (A southern event wouldn't have nearly the same effect on North Carolina, since the western district event there had exactly 24 teams and that's before considering the Tennessee-and-Kentucky-sized distance in between. Georgia? Even worse. MAR/Chesapeake/NE? It's basically a wash at that point.)

Looking to make more of that happen. Creating the connection point for us to practically make that happen is what we see starting here. Incremental steps forward : )
