Don't quote me on this, but I believe part of the motivation to put it there was to encourage team growth in that region. Considering it's four years later and the map looks like that, it does not appear to have been especially effective.
I don't have any aggregate data, but I know about 1257's travel times. We're in Union County, the small county with 3 teams in northeast NJ. We typically attend Bridgewater-Raritan (30 minutes away) and Mount Olive (45 minutes away), and MAR Champs is around an hour and fifteen minutes away. It isn't too bad for us, but it's a bit of a hike, and that seems to be a recurring theme with MAR teams.
