NXN or Footlocker.
Why does the West have there regionals same weekend as NXN.
The California state meet pushes the FL west meet out one week past the other FL regionals.

I'd say they are both important. One crowns a team champion, the other used to crown an individual champion (but that is only a disputed title as the schedule doesn't work out to allow most areas of the nation to run both).
So, the question becomes what is more important to these athletes - running with their team at NXN for a team title, running at NXN for a disputed individual title, or running at FLN for a disputed individual title. In the long term, NXN will be the only viable option, but as we've seen the past 6 years FLN has just as good individuals up front and is still a viable championship.
As another poster already mentioned, FLW is the same day as NXN because the California State meet is the same week as the rest of the Footlocker Regionals (Thanksgiving weekend). Athletes on the East coast have the same dilemma as FLS and FLNE are the same days as NXN-NE/NY and NXN-SE. Only the athletes from FLMW and NXN-SO states can compete at both.
