Week 5 April 2-4
Week 6 April 9-11
Championships April 16-18

Of course this is MY conjecture for the dates.... they are not announced yet.

As much as I love your predictions, I know its probably not going to start on January 10th.
To have a week 6 regional and then actually 4 days later have to unpack at championships, its too close of a time frame. Also, based on the last two years of the NYC regional being Friday-Sunday, might actually be April 10-12, 2009.
I can see as they add more regionals, having a later CMP date, but with that already announced, kickoff will be January 3rd. No vacation for us again.
