If the static can't stick around that long, it may be a better option to form statics when the release date is actually known, even if it would impact any sort of intention to world race.
We're not racing, but if you've ever organized a HC static before, it can take weeks or even months to find someone. And in some cases, people literally need several months in advance to book PTO. Putting together a HC static in such a short timeline, while not impossible, would be nigh improbable if accounting for schedule availability, PTO, jobs and roles, and personality clashes.
