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.)
