Alternative strategy, CA waits to go to districts until there is a "West Champs" in 2021. Maybe we'll be waiting until then anyway...

I imagine the largest districts (MAR, NE, and FIM) will be Week 7, like they are this year. All of them would probably attend Detroit anyway, based on their location. Smaller districts who can pack the events into 6 weeks (CHS, PCH, NC, and maybe PNW/IN) would probably go to Houston. With the exception of Indiana and PNW, who could go either way, those districts are are also relatively equidistant or closer to Houston. However, I don't disagree: I've never been on a planning committee, but I'm sure a smaller timeline makes planning more difficult.
