Florida should move to week 5 or 6. I know that FIRST has no control over the Arena scheduling, and the Legislature determines when the FCAT is given.

The Championship coincides with Senior skip day or something like that. We had a really hard time locating a charter bus for the trip to Atlanta, when most of Florida's graduating seniors are going to Orlando that weekend.
Pretty much every weekend during April, both Disney and Universal hold "Grad Night" events for seniors that most high schools participate in, thus making it hard for all the Florida teams to find buses for the Championship.

I know that my senior year on 108 all the graduating students had to chose between attending Grad Night and Championships.
