I think you greatly overestimate the number of choices that USFIRST has regarding this matter. There's only a handful of venues in the country that can even support an event of this size. Now take that handful, and narrow it down based on travel costs (both domestic and international teams), nearby hotel capacity, venue availibility, location relative to team distribution, etc, and you really don't have many choices left.
