I am not sure about the other teams in PNW but we opted out because we really didn't want to do week 5 event with the District CMP in week 6.
FIRST requires the home events to be designated by nearest zip code and even though the event we wanted was closer (by actual mileage) our home event was designated as a different one.
You should see a big jump when we all get a chance to use our first choice.
It is really a matter of timing... we try to set up our season so that the events are spaced out so students aren't out of class for 2 weeks in a row.
There also might be a little kickback because of the new payment schedule/ payment amounts but I am not sure about that.... I will reserve comments regarding that to other threads.
