The goal is to always stagger events close to each other while balancing the number of events each week and fitting within the venue availability. A very tough thing to do and Why FIRST doesn't publish the calender early.

Kansas City and St. Louis fall on the same week for the first time ever this year. Could impact the strength of both events. Kansas City might have more room for out of town talent for those looking for a week 3 event with their second registration.

Interesting graph for which regionals fill first for the2010 season.

More recent information from 2012.

Could be an issue for us as well. Week 3 is the start of spring break and we don't usually schedule regionals at either end of spring break due to conflicts with student vacation travel, band trips, etc. I'd hate to miss Kansas City - it's a great event.

Hmm, Manchester and WPI run back to back this year, and I believe WPI is going to be a full regional now that their new recreation facility is done. But Boston's the same weekend that it was last year, so that's nice. :)

I think the biggest factor here was the location for the next regional in Texas. Lots of West Texas teams made the trip to either Dallas or Alamo last year. Lubbock also gives Eastern New Mexico growth a better chance to happen.

Being centrally located here in Austin, we have lots of choices for the teams in our area to attend already.

Excited to see the schedule though.

Do you know where in Irving, the tournament will be and if it will be a double again?

With a cap of 54 teams, it looks like a single field only. According to the event list, it'll be at the Irving Convention Center on Las Colinas Blvd.
