This is a screenshot from my school project. The map was made in Arc GIS. Theres a 550 mile buffer around each worlds location and then there is a color coded near_FID feature showing the closest worlds location to each team. Some of the data was interesting.
Yellow = Houston
Red = Detroit
White = Location
Mark Mcleod provided the team data and I have an excel doc with the data in a readable format for the program if anyone wants it.

Re: pic: Arc GIS Map of Teams Closest to 2018 World's Locations.
I'm curious to know what the number count is at each championship.
As in, number of green dots, versus number of red dots. Could you also run this on other cities?

Are you sure you're properly accounting for the possibility of crossing the international dateline?

Sydney to Detroit = 9,478 miles
Sydney to Houston = 8,585 miles
going to the opposite direction (map above)
Sydney to Detroit = about 15,000 miles
Sydney to Houston =about 16,000 miles

Have you ever seen someone fall off the edge of the world?
It isn't a pretty sight...

Just eyeballing this (but I've been a map freak my whole life and a professional oceanographer for half of it), the line separating equidistance from Detroit and Houston passes just about through the teams in China and SE Asia (meaning that it's more a matter of what flights are available), and all of the Australian and Pacific Island teams are closer to Houston.
Also, it would be nice to see a zoom-in so that those two 550 mile circles essentially filled the picture.

First off great job on the ARC GIS mapping of the teams and their location compared to the Championships. Is there anyway to zoom in further to get a better look at the locations?
Great work though.

I could run this with any city.

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

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)

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).
