Organize new submissions into correct state level directories #4

@jlegrone Two questions:

  1. Can you clarify what the desired folder structure should be? From what I can tell, the current structure is:
root-folder/
  AUTO Event Sheets/
  AUTO Event Sheets (multiple)/
  AUTO Sign In Sheets/

One possibility (Option 1) would be to place states at the top level of the hierarchy:

root-folder/
  Alabama/
    AUTO Event Sheets/
    AUTO Event Sheets (multiple)/
    AUTO Sign In Sheets/    
  Alaska/
    ...

Another (Option 2) would be to have file types at the top level:

root-folder/
  AUTO Event Sheets/
    Alabama/
    Alaska/
    ...
  AUTO Event Sheets (multiple)/
    Alabama/
    Alaska/
    ...
  AUTO Sign In Sheets/
    Alabama/
    Alaska/
    ...
  1. What do you think about starting a new root folder once this re-organization happens? That way, we won't mix organization styles in the same folder. The existing folder will reflect the current organization, but will not continue to be updated.

Alternatively, we could write a script that migrates existing files to the new structure.
