I certainly hope that continues and there are no events planned.

Unfortunately when Easter happens to fall in March it's out of FIRST's hands, like this year. Since Easter does fall in March, that means about 1/5 (probably 5 - give or take 1) of the regionals will be held on Easter weekend - nothing they can do about it.
The positive is that now there are MANY more options for teams to choose from than the last time Easter was in March. So at least if any teams decide they just can't compete that weekend (even if it's their "local" or closest event), they will have other regionals in other weeks to choose as an alternate which were not options in the past.
