First off, the regional schedule is completely unofficial. Secondly, there are a very large amount of factors when come into play when creating a regional schedule. Many people from all over North America work in conjunction to put one together. They try their best to accommodate the needs of all parties, and do an amazing job. But with almost 1000 teams, 30 cities and venues, it isn't going to be possible to please everyone.

So before you go out and start criticizing, just take a moment to step back and look at the bigger picture.
