2 things:
1. Absolutely agree that better event date coordination is required between RD's and First HQ. Last year was bad for teams doing two events (given the travel distances involved) for the intermountain west, (with Utah, Sacramento, Colorado, Idaho, Las Vegas and Western Canada events all scheduled within three weeks) but the 2017 schedule for Pittsburgh, FLR and Tech Valley is now the poster child for poor event scheduling.
2. Some scattered pockets of the country will not have the team/mentor/volunteer density required by the district model for the foreseeable future. This factor is often overlooked by FRC participants in densely populated parts of the country.
