Actually, I don't quite think so. You could probably sneak a couple more days in for a close event. That's part of why I'm suggesting that bag day be whenever the first team that needs to ship to an event has to be in the crate to make it there. Whether that's Week 1, or Week 6/7! Imagine what havoc a variable-between-years bag date could cause!
Lets ask 359 how many days ahead they have to ship their robot for a competition in the states. I bet if you figure out when they would have to ship their robot for a week 1 competition, it would be the day or two after stop build day. Almost as if FIRST did that on purpose.
