The location for MSC is listed as "to be determined," and I don't believe it'll return to its current location. I'm not at all affiliated with FiM, but anyone from Michigan who's been paying attention to the goings-on would tell you the most pressing reason to move away from the past location would be to make MSC larger. A 64-team MSC brings in the top ~20%, which is too low. In my opinion, the ideal is around ~30%, which this year would be over 90 teams. My guess is as good as anyone's, but I'd put money on a significant increase in the number of teams at MSC this year.

This addition of Kentwood now mostly alleviates my concerns. When trying to plan a team's schedule, it's nice to know the options ahead of time. Also when events are added late, they tend to create large disparities in level of competition between districts. These are both bad for the teams at large.

As for MSC, if we don't know where it is, we have to at least consider every possibility. I am choosing not to assume it'll be where it always has been in the past.
