That's definitely part of it. Ideally this is just the one crunch year the region operates under before the jump to the new model (Ideally). On top of that, the changing of dates for some teams probably made them rethink how and where to apply first and second, chucking a bunch of Virginia teams onto their own regional's wait list.
At least the Virginia Regional will be the 65+mecca we know and love this year
*sigh*
