While on the surface, this sounds like a good idea, you also have to look at the extra logistics involved with setting up the national event. My understanding is that around February, Disney is starting work on setting up the competition area for April, so that would mean that they're planning it out on paper much before that, which means they need a number of teams attending(or at least close to it - I know there's always last-minute changes) so they know how much space they need. If they didn't even have the number of teams registered until just before they started building the arenas and pit, that would make things that much more chaotic. Disney already does so much for us, do we really want to say to them, "OK, we've got this big competition coming up in April that we need pit and arena space for, but just one problem...we don't have any idea how many teams are coming yet. Oh, by the way, you've got 2 months..."
