I'm pretty sure there was a pancake breakfast at GKCR. I remember being there. I don't remember much else about it, it was very early in the morning.

359 should try to come to California this year, as it's the last year of regionals in California. There's going to be 7 this year, so plenty to choose from, and each one offers a unique experience.

Actually, you never know....we were involved at least in part, of the discussions to allow Hawaii teams to join in on the California district system.:rolleyes:

CA is going to Districts in 2016? Source?

CA has been 2 years away from districts since 2010.

I believe that Jim Beck stated during the opening ceremonies on the Saturday of the Silicon Valley Regional that there would be 7 regionals in California for 2015 (the new one being in Ventura), and beginning in 2016, California would switch to a "qualifier" system. He didn't want to call it a district system, but it seems that would be the case.

Ah yes, the "California System", as some may wish to call it. It's like districts, but it isn't, whatever that means. ;)

The likelihood of FIRST approving something other than the current District System is extremely slim. FIRST had the Michigan and MAR models and then created the current District and Unified Points System based on those experiences and input from the PNW, NE District organizers and other interested parties. The only potential significant change might be allowing inter-district play for the 2015 season.

Note Indiana is piloting a mini-district model but the only real difference is the number of teams in the district.

How likely is this regional going to happen? And would it be more metro, macon, or south? If it were to happen that would be amazing.

It'd be the district system, he's just trying to brand it as a different name for some reason.

In Virginia we add a year for every time someone mentions it.
