Agreed. Its nice to see us condensed down to five weeks. It would have been nice to see the DCMP moved to week six but I think having a week between the events will help as teams will have a better idea of where they stand going into WPI so they have time to plan or research travel options for St. Louis.
I think the reasoning behind putting more events in MA aside from it having more teams is that most of the MA events are still close enough to border states it is still easy for teams to commute into the state on a daily basis. The Reading event is 30-45 minutes for teams in the SNH area. Similarly the new Springfield event (which technically the place of WPI) will be about 30 minutes for teams on the northern side of Hartford. Not a perfect solution but hopefully CT teams don't have to travel too far.
