Not necessarily. Using Parkinson's Law as our guiding principle, you can see that no matter how many weeks are in the build season, not all teams will be ready before their first tournament. I welcome someone to do the math, but empirically I would say that if N percent of teams are now ready before their first regional, if the build season were five weeks .95N would be ready, and if it were seven weeks, then 1.05N teams would be done. The relationship between "done-ness" and "weeks building" is distinctly nonlinear, and is a very flat curve.
