Since next year's game is a water game, if they wait too long to hold the Championships it will have heated up considerably in Atlanta. Hotter temperatures means more evaporation, which ultimately will increase the event's cost (especially since there are 5 fields).

Of course, the week 1 regionals will have to contend with the possibility of freezing playing fields, but it's nothing a little salt won't fix.
