Oh, I didn't want to come off as writing it off. I just think that for leagues where history is a primary component (NHL and MLB) that kind of regionalization isn't the best idea.
On the other hand I think that kind of regionalization would be EXCELLENT for a sport like MLS where local derby cups (Cascadia Cup in PNW with VanBC, Seattle, Portland) have a strong history and unbalanced scheduling would be an advantage for attendance.
