I agree the #1 seed in the Region should get the home field advantage.

I don't think there is an ideal situation for the playoffs. Even in basketball, the region is rotating playoffs between the LPD, BDD, and Cumberland, with games at Clintwood Elem, Clinchco Elem, and Castlewood High. If they stay with the same premise, throw the new district in the mix. Some have suggested that the playoffs should just be held at one place like VA High. But, Region D covers a lot of territory, so you've always got some teams having to travel a long distance every year.

Great facilities are nice, but I think you have to weigh in travel distance too.

I don't know how things will play out, but the addition of Lebanon and Virginia High to Region D will throw two great gyms into the mix. That drive to Bristol is a [censored] though. I kind of liked being with a 30 minute drive all of all the Region D host sites.
