Because there are no membership requirements and much lower officer 
requirements.  Getting deputy officers doesn't require the awkward process 
of going through the regional officers.  The fighter practice doesn't 
require a separate report each month; the Bonwicke marshall places a call 
to get the data and then includes it in her report.

A fighter practice and some meetings in Blacklake don't require a full 
slate of officers, just as a fighter practice and a few meetings in Round 
Rock (part of Bryn Gwlad north of Austin) don't.

It also might make it easier to move back toward branch status.
