Also, as much as people outside of the professional world live in an alternate reality where everyone goes to 7 competitions in one season, it's not really plausible for the vast majority of people. The district system allows teams to miss less work days than a 3-day regional. You can cap it at four, MAYBE five events provided people aren't missing a week dependent on a CMP appearance and district dates.

1676 has gone to 4 events and will go to a fifth this competition season assuming they go to CMP). Both districts were Saturday/Sunday, NYC was Friday-Sunday, MAR was Thursday-Saturday, and CMP is Wednesday-Sunday (travel).

They missed 6 days over 5 events. Meanwhile, a two or three regional team is going to be missing more days if they go to CMP.

It's one of many factors we/FIRSTHQ must consider in all of this. There can't be any Superultraregionals that put teams into CMP or state divisions that qualify you for a state CMP.

This stuff is hard.
