With the current competition season of 6-7 weeks, there are pros and cons to any of the schedule setups. Run the districts without a week gap before champs and you can put late qualifiers in a real bind. Run the whole system through week 7 and you put late qualifiers to the world champs in a bind. Compact the district schedule to finish the district season in 6 weeks AND give teams a week break between the districts and their championship, and you choke out flexibility for teams.

I agree with both statements. I can understand why they did it the way they did it, but I do hope it is something that is thought about in future years. When an 8th event is eventually added we won't have the issue anymore and the same is true when inter-district play is introduced.
I appreciate that they are trying to cram the events in the first 4 weeks to provide some time between the District Championship and the World Championship. There are pros and cons of each way of doing it.
