59th District Tournament Format?

Others on here have posted what they understand to be the format. Whether it is true or not, I don't know, but here is what has been posted:

Each old district will seed 1-3, with the two #1 seeds getting a bye to the semifinals. The 60th #2 will face the 59th #3 in the first round, with the winner advancing to face the 59th #1. The other first round matchup will be the 59th #2 against the 60th #3, with that winner advancing to face the 60th #1. Then the two semifinal winners would play for the title.

This seems pretty straightforward as far as how the tourney will play out. I also understand that four teams will move on to the regional, which I assume would be the four semifinalists. Beyond that, I don't know how the teams will be allocated into the regional, or how the regional will play out. It all seems a little goofy to me, but that's another argument for a different thread...
