If you're an NY team and want to go to 2 regionals, you have to either
a) do back to back weeks
b) cover the entire length of the state (and that's if you want to only do an NYC/FLR jaunt)
c) drive down to College Park, MD, California, PA, or Cleveland, OH or any points further away that.
I mean, for what it's worth, I'm used to the thrill of having the three closest regionals to me sharing 2 weekends, but I'm not asked to search for flights to go to the next closest one after that.

Ontario events are slightly closer, but then again the border is a non starter for a lot of teams. Montreal is the same week as TVR so even though that's arguably our second closest regional (!!!) it's not an option. Districts closing their borders to us have left us between a rock and a hard place.
