I just think that if you want to have the biggest, more diverse pool of teams to pick from, I would keep registration open for a couple of days after IRI announces their teams. I know one team that thought they would get into IRI, didn't and then wished they applied to MARC. Of course they could have/should have applied to MARC beforehand, but they didn't. I think you could get a couple more out of state teams apply if they get their hopes up about competeting again, don't get into IRI and thus apply to MARC.
