Since YPP is good for 3 years I would think last year would have seen more of an impact since everyone had to get it done.
This year it's only changes in Main/Alternate that could be held up by YPP.
Of course there was more of a publicized YPP push last year, so more teams may have been caught flatfooted this year.

I wonder if any teams in the new districts are delayed in being assigned to events? I know Michigan has caused odd bumps in prior years when they held assignments, then released them all at once.

I don't know how widespread this was, but I know there was an issue with some district teams listed as a traditional event structure and couldn't register for their district event.
