I know of course the easy solution is to organize my team more, but that's a far more difficult task than one would think and I have yet to do.

Well now that you've been able to identify the problem, I'd say its about time to address said problem, even if its with a little bit of help.

That seems a bit too generalized for all regionals. A few events maybe, but other than that this sounds highly exaggerated. For many people, as Andrew said, they'd need to learn how to adapt to changes, not just hit a brick wall in the face of those changes.
