The Iowa Regional will be in the UNI Dome and McLeod Center on the University of Northern Iowa campus in Cedar Falls. This venue will work very well for a FRC regional. Looking forward to seeing lots of teams at the new event!

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

Has anybody heard anything at all (unofficially and with caveats) about SD or IE or Ventura dates?

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

IE is not happening in Palm Springs anymore. I believe last year is the last, from what we heard....:cool:

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

I emailed Paul Schoch, who is the RD for NYTVR, and he said they sent a letter of commitment to FIRST for week 3 (mar 17-19) but it is still tentative.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

I've heard the same thing--IE not happening--from multiple sources.



OTOH, there are rumors circulating that there will be a replacement. Rumors being rumors, I don't know how true that will be (but if you want to make a bunch of CA teams very annoyed, the best way is to take away 40 spots and not put 50 back).

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

Ugh why
(Hey Glenn, here's a great Week 3 regional for you to attend :P )

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

Anyone hearing anything about Dallas Regional and Hub City Regional (Lubbock, TX)?

Thanks!

Or the possibility of the new regional in Alabama. I know there was so talk about that last year.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

Oh joy, back-to-back regionals. Finger Lakes is Week 4.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

There is definitely a new regional in Huntsville, AL this year. It will be called the Rocket City Regional

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

The dates for SD and Ventura are still up in the air, but likely to be week 5 or 6 (not sure which is which).


Inland Empire will not be returning. A replacement is in the works and should be announced soon.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

It was rumored that the Rocket City Regional was going to take place in week 4. I haven't seen an official announcement yet, but this is the date Georgia FIRST gave me.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

The Midwest Regional was just posted for Week 5.
I guess we won't see many Wisconsin teams now that Wisconsin and Midwest are back to back weeks.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

I second this request.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

Registration opens in just a few weeks, and we don't have dates for many, including (for our interest):

NYC
Montreal
Queen City

How late have events been posted in previous years? I'm trying to schedule meetings with our planning committee accordingly.
