I notice that no Bedford event is listed, and a couple weekends have 4 events. Are more events (than the 18 posted) coming?

Sounds like more events are coming (weekends with 2 events => 3 events). 18 events would limit Michigan to 360 teams, which is most likely fewer than we'll have.


Here's a FiM District Map

4 events week 1 ought to be fun.

There are only two districts currently posted for week 6, which is when Bedford usually is.

There are still plenty of events that have not yet posted.
Plus no one wants their regional to be the test bunny for the season.

Too bad Waterloo is at the same time... I'd love to see more Ontario teams here!!

More info on the new Orange County regional will be coming soon.

Anyone notice the small capacity (24) for Greater Pittsburgh? Whats the reasoning behind that?

Sometimes the RDs hold spots for Rookies and such. I don't think regionals are even allowed to be that small, they're probably just reserve slots.

Not quite.

What you're seeing is the INITIAL capacity. Basically, at initial registration, those are the slots that will be open. However, at second event registration, another batch of slots will open, and maybe another at third... That still won't be full capacity, though...

The RD is probably holding about 10 slots for the estimated rookie quantity, as well as later-registering veterans, that will be released at some point very late in registration or build.

What is weird is the # slots missing, compared to the event last year is 30. That seems really high compared to the rest of reserve slot only being 10 (for at least Midwest and Wisconsin)

I suspect that the RDs are trying to make sure that their local teams get in. KY and TN--who might normally go to VA/MD or the Carolinas as an "away" event would now be looking elsewhere, and Pittsburgh isn't exactly far from those areas. (It's also not exactly close... but that doesn't stop an FRC team from traveling.)

Tech Valley got listed for week 3. Rocket City got listed for week 4 and Midwest got listed for week 5(somehow I previously missed Queen City getting listed for week 5 as well).


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:10.
