Well that's a change. Normally Alamo is week 1. The George R Brown Convention Center has no mention of Lone Star on the calander.

According to the Purdue University calendar, The Boilermaker Regional will be Week 3, March 14-16th.

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar
 

UCF spiring break is the week of march 4th so it looks like the Orlando regional will be on march 7nth-9nth

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar
 

Assuming everything works out (so far they're good), you can add the Calgary/West Canada regional to Week 6 (April 3-6). Location is Canada Olympic Park, on The Oval, as BackInCalgary noted. That's a nice big venue, did I hear someone say 'practice fields'? :D

Very ambitious RD out here is also trying to start a bunch of new teams in Alberta. So far there have only been 2 teams West of Ontario for us to choose from out here.

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar
 

The Granite State Regional at the Verizon Wireless Arena has been week 1 for as long as i can remember, but that is not confirmed by anything

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar
 

Add Las Vegas Regional to week 6...

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar
 

Will the Michigan State Championship be week 7 again? I was surprised by MAR being moved to week 6.

Sorry Joe, forgot to hit save when I edited it last time.

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar
 

Peachtree will be Week 3. Confirmed from GeorgiaFIRST a couple days ago.

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar
 

I assume it will be, since with the volume of teams in Michigan it has been tossed around that new districts may have to be held during Week 6. But that's based on pure hearsay.

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar
 

Los Angeles Regional looks to be week 3. According to their schedule, It's the only time when the arena inst occupied by any big events.

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar
 

I've heard it won't be at the same venue, so that might not be a valid assumption.

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar
 

More speculation: if Michigan again grows by 20-30 teams, we'll be at 210-220 teams, which needs 11 districts. Because it's unlikely that three districts will take place in the same week, that would necessitate a week 6 district.

Note that it may be possible to squeeze 420-440 team-events into 10 districts, but I don't think that'll be attempted.

As for concrete evidence, there's nothing on the EMU Convocation Center event schedule for any FRC weekend (or 2013 at all for that matter).

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar
 

Not necessarily; if you look at the dates for last year's event there were also other things booked for the same time. They have multiple venues at the convention center.
