You can't really push Nationals back too much more than it already is. The entire competition is pretty much cemented. You can't start any sooner, cause you have to start with the high school spring semester. You have to have 6 weeks to build, 2 weeks to the first regional, a set number of weekends for regionals, and another 2 weeks to nationals. To move nationals back much farther than where it is, you'd be pushing it very close to the end of the school year and finals and all of that stuff. So I think FIRST is mostly stuck with its current schedule.
