Introducing Regional United States Battlegroups

I like this idea a great bit, and i really love the 1000 player limit to BG's being removed. One thing I would like to see is them split it up as so.
Time Zones.
USA has 6 Time Zones.
Alaskan Time Zone(?)
Hawaiian Time Zone(?)
Pacific Time Zone
Mountain Time Zone
Central Time Zone
Eastern Time Zone
I do like Keiri's idea and will somewhat combine it into mine, by splitting the Time Zones to make the BG's Smaller.
Anyways, I do not have Photoshop at the moment, so I can't really make a map, but i can list these BG's by state how I think they should be
Pacific Timezone BG's
Battle Group 1
1. Washington
2. Alaska
3. Oregon
4. Hawaii
Battle Group 2
1. California
2. Nevada
Mountain Time Zone
Battle Group 1
1. Montana
2. Idaho
3. Wyoming
Battle Group 2
1. Utah
3. Colorado
2. New Mexico
3. Arizona
Central Time Zone

2. Louisiana
3. Mississippi
4. Alabama
5. Arkansas
6. Tennessee

2. Kansas
3. Missouri
4. Kentucky
5. Illinois
Battle Group 3
1. Nebraska
2. South Dakota
3. North Dakota
4. Minnesota
5. Iowa
6. Wiconsin
Eastern Time Zone
Battle Group 1
1. New York
2. Maine
3. New Hampshire
4. Vermont
5. Massachusetts
6. Rhode Island
7. Connecticut
Battle Group 2
1. Pennsylvania
2. Maryland
3. Delaware
4. New Jersey
5. Non-State Washington D.C.
Battle Group 3
1. Michigan
2. Ohio
3. Indiana
4. West Virginia
5. Virginia
Battle Group 4
1. North Carolina
2. South Carolina
3. Georgia
4. Florida
Now, I know the scores in these BGs will not be "even," but that's not really the point in my eyes. In my way, I see most of the BGs (Excluding the states of Hawaii and Alaska.) as traverse-able and reasonable. For the people in New York, the added states are small and would not affect as much. California just has one state added. Sure, one could argue that they should be separate, but then it erases the entire point of what GA is trying to do. Also, this is a way to meet new people, so keeping a BG by itself is horrible. My BG's are fair-sized, and split pretty evenly according to size of land they take up in each time zone. I also "averaged" some of the states, like Kentucky is barely more Central Time Zone than Eastern Time Zone.
Anyways, sorry for the space I took up. Please give me your feedback!

Kieri's plan makes about 1,000 times more sense imo.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm sure mine would have made more sense if I had been able to make the visual map representation of my idea.
(Not necessarily as mush sense of Keiri's, but closer to it. ^_^)

You know what would be amazing?
If there were say, five nominated plans, that the community could vote for.
