This is even more an issue as 2 of them (Duluth) are still pretty far as well as week 1 and tend to fill up quickly due to the large number of Minnesota teams. The other two Minnesota events (Minneapolis/St. Paul) tend to be later in the season which mean it will either land on the same week as one of the 4 Regionals listed previously or land at an undesirable time in week 5. Outside of Minnesota, the next closest for the region becomes Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and Ontario.

Or land on week 6. Never forget week 6!
