You can also assume that that growth will continue in the future making these locations adventitious.

I've been a big fan of having CMP trips that aren't financial boondoggles like what West Coast teams have to shell out to go anywhere so in my selfish monetary opinion I'd like to avoid Houston
Any kind of promotion/relegation system in FIRST is pretty ludicrous. I do see some merit in creating an Open Championship vs World Championship split but not if it means resigning teams to a division they can't compete in/needlessly dominate for no reason. I do think a CMP event with higher parity in the competition creates a more inspiring environment for everyone, so promotion/relegation in the frame of reference of an FRC season doesn't make any sense.
