Asking those same students to take more time off of school again at the last minute prolly wouldn't fly with the administration.

Also getting volunteers who would be able to give the full week of time needed would be a daunting task in and of itself.

I do think that maybe something should be done so that the 2 winning alliances meet up at some point to determine an overall champion.
It would also be bad for the teams that are there for the second event due to the need for hotels and no city has enough hotel space for all teams to be booking hotels to cover across both events
