Section 84's split wasn't inevitable, but wasn't too bad. Section 84 has two population centers for staff which quite reasonably could anchor separate sections. And once you put Frostburg and Western Maryland in the Baltimore section to get as close as possible to an even split, giving the Eastern Shore to the DC based section made sense. While there were a few counties that could have been shifted, once a couple of assumptions were made, most people's maps looked the same.
Well at this point, a section 85 only conference would be accessible by Metrorail/Metrobus for you and I just don't think most brothers nationwide expect that. (I don't expect Salisbury to put in a bid for the 2009 sectionals).
