What I find to be really silly in the case of the MAR area is that there are around half a dozen offseasons you could demo the control system at in an informal but constructive enviornment, but they have put the burden of doing that on 1 team. I guess education about the new system through the beta either a) isn't as important as I percieved initially, b) they seriously are entrusting MORT to cover a 120+ team area all by themselves (not a dig at 11), or c) beta education just is important but fitting into whatever requirments FIRST specified for testing narrowly beat it out, and MAR is supposed to deal with it.
Meanwhile in Virginia we have 3 teams in the state selected for the program and only two unique offseason events and (I believe) only one group of open workshops so I guess I don't know what's happening but I imagine I'm not alone in that regard.
