Moving Championships back

We all know that AP testing is one of the severe limiters to the length of the FRC season. However, what would happen if the championships were moved to AFTER AP testing, such as near the end of May. The result would be in a 3-4 week gap between when champs would normally be and when it would be with the change. This would have a few advantages and disadvantages as to what I can see.

Some pros:
- Teams have another month to work.
- Waitlisted teams have more time to sort out their affairs before champs.
- Competition season is not as rushed.
- You could theoretically have both champs at the same time.
- No chance of conflict with VEX champs.

Some cons:
- Teams have another month to work.
- Depending on where you live and when your school lets out, champs could be during the beginning of summer vacation.
- Having champs after AP testing could lead to students still pulling long hours during testing and adversely affecting their scores.

What are your thoughts on this?
