Schedules are based on a variety of reasons, of which securing the venue and when, is critical to even hosting a tournament.
Honestly, the issues of doing back-back tournaments are relative to each team and the resources they have.

We've done many back-back regionals in recent years.....a lot farther than what you're describing.

We make the best out of the schedule that comes out annually and participate as much as we can and afford.
