Choosing a Regional to Attend?

[Don Knight]

When FIRST started all the regionals had team socials, as costs have risen many regionals have choosen not to have them because of cost. So......

Does having a Team Social at a Regional play in your teams decision to attend?

Yes

No

For us, it's how far we're going to have to drive that impacts our regional decision. That and making sure there's an "off week" between the two we attend, so students don't miss too many days of schools so close together!

No, but it sure is a welcome bonus. The AZ social was great. I miss it when we go to LA.

i dont even know i we check into whether there's a team social or not, so im not sure that it would play any part in our decision. we go to trenton, phili, and this year we are attending chessapeak as apposed to nationals

We only choose the regionals we attend by distance and competition. We always go to GLR because all of the top notch teams from Michigan and surrounding areas go to GLR. We used to go to 2 reigonals and nationals but because of budget cuts we are only going to GLR and Nationals.
