Some of the timing was driven by venues, for instance at Troy we didn't get the gym until 2:30 on Thursday, when the last class ended. Based on the success at Troy this year this may be relaxed in the future.

There is also somewhat of a volunteer issue. Starting later enables kids to come after school and adults to lose one less day of work. For instance, I was able to get in 3 events for the lost work cost of about two standard regionals. Of course with the local economy in a tailspin this may not be an issue next year.
