There are issues with KOP Transportation and storage when the first weekend in January gets to close to new years - between holiday and weekend schedules, kits would have to be shipped much earlier, with local storage options identified and paid for. Keep in mind that many kickoff locations are at Schools, which are effectively shut down between Christmas and New year's! Generally, that means kickoff is never earlier than Jan 3.
