I don't have any insight as to the MAR planning committee's inner workings, but just as a point of reference:
My guess for a worst-case travel time to the MAR district championships is 2:18 (from the Dover, DE area).
PNW district championship to the two largest population centers in the district:
4:17 (Seattle, WA)
5:21 (Portland, OR)
This is roughly equivalent to holding the MAR championship in Pittsburgh.
FIRST is difficult and it is challenging, but you aren’t necessarily required to go off and build an 8 motor drivetrain and 4 motor / 8 pneumatic piston arm mechanism for the heck of it when a 2 motor non-shifting drivetrain and 2 motor arm does just as good a job. - Bill Gold [more]
