That, coupled with a later weekend, means North 1/2 CMP will likely be more competitive and harder to get in to.

a chart real quick. Houston would definitely have been weaker than St. Louis this year. This is both because their percentiled OPRs are lower, but also because Houston would have had more waitlisted teams (more districts in St. Louis fills it out better, plus more overall 2016 teams would've gone to St. Louis, 243 to 357).
