I suspect that the RDs are trying to make sure that their local teams get in. KY and TN--who might normally go to VA/MD or the Carolinas as an "away" event would now be looking elsewhere, and Pittsburgh isn't exactly far from those areas. (It's also not exactly close... but that doesn't stop an FRC team from traveling.)
