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...
I know this reflects Bayou's size change last year. We've usually been in the upper 50's to 60 during my tenure (since 2012 Rebound Rumble peripherally, or 2013 Ultimate Ascent as a serious mentor). The initial limit was somewhere closer to 48, which was filled with mostly LA, MS, and a few TX, AL, and AR teams. The second round increased the limit to 60 and drew us a few rookie teams and a bunch more "traveling" teams! As I recall, we ended up with 59 teams in 2015.

Upstate NY is stuck with back-to-back regionals again... :(

It didn't even HAVE to be that way this year. Planning committees please remedy this next year- its very frustrating.

This should be fun, missing two days of class in two weeks. Fortunately, TVR is a ten minute walk from my dorm.

The regional work independently of one another and worry about handling business with what works best with their school. Not with what works best with the region. You're just gonna have to deal.

This probably will be the case until NY switches to the district system. The district system allows for more coordination between the individual events, and for the most part takes the entire district into consideration when it comes to event locations and dates.

Any information about the Mexico city regional?

Looks like Dallas is week 4.

So far, almost every regional within reasonable driving distance of us (Oklahoma City) is either week 2 or week 4 -- the two weekends we can't compete:

Week 2:

Rock City
St. Louis
Alamo

Week 4:

Oklahoma
Dallas
Colorado*
Rocket City*
Iowa*


(*) stretching "within driving distance"

Lone Star (week 6) may be an option, and has NASA and Galveston side trip possibilities. Bayou is on Spring Break, and in a warm locale, so maybe that's a possibility with no missed school. Hmmm..... (unless someone wants to sponsor a Hawaii Regional trip for us!)

Minneapolis is week 6 and not that much farther up I-35. Duluth is week 1 but farther up I-35. It's easier to find though because you just go north on I-35 and when it stops you're there.

If Rocket City is "within driving distance" (at a stretch) it sure looks like Bayou would be about the same distance, if Google Maps is to be believed--10+ hours driving. Houston's probably a better bet, though (7 hours).

Won't Duluth still be under 6 feet of snow during week 1? :) And Oklahomans freeze when the temperature drops below 40 F. Love Minnesota (when it's warm), though.

Bayou might be a fun spring break option -- though there are no beaches in Louisiana that I know of. I think the only other one we have not heard about in our part of the country is Hub City (Lubbock), right?

OK, that did happen two years ago, but last year it was really quite nice.

High of 20-24? Perfect. Any warmer and the ice rinks start melting in the sun.
