Week 1 works best, but theoretically, as long as you go before your second in-district event, you should get better because of your out-of-district event*.

Additionally, travel plays a role. It takes 3 hours to get from Richmond to Raleigh. That's not too bad, but not all NC events were in the Raleigh-Durham area. If a team from Richmond wanted to go to an NC event and the Raleigh events didn't line up, a trip of 4+ hours likely awaited them. So not only do the weeks have to line up compared to your in-district events, your OOD events can't be too far away either.

*Theoretically, on average.
