It is not really an realistic option for PCH to stay at week 7. Robot shipping alone is bad enough. The initial qualifiers have until Tues to pay. Which means the teams that get the pass down slots will have to pay, ship their robots, find hotel rooms, and leave Tues night. We thought the 6 week build was high pressure.
First wouldn't be able to assign PCH teams to fields and build the schedule until payment was confirmed. Which would be Tues afternoon at the earliest.
Week 7 is also Easter Weekend. While not an issue for some, It is a big issue for others.
I guess they could move PCH to 1/2 Championship North which is actually geographically closer, at least in 2017.
