Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

The West Texas regional director confirmed to me that Hub City will be week 5, and will be Thursday-Sunday.

And I confirmed that the average high temp in Lubbock is 71 F on April 1. And tornado season.

Minnesota is fun any time of year. I've been volunteering in Duluth and Minneapolis for the past 3 years. Winter season is part of what makes us competitive. Looking forward to 2016.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

Orlando looks to be posted as week 2.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

Yep. Orlando looks to be week two this year, now we wait for South Florida :)

Any idea for SBPLI and NYC regional dates?

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

SBPLI will be March 31, April 1 & 2. The contract is signed but FIRST hasn't listed it yet.

NYC will probably be March 11,12,13, as they like week 2, but it's not official yet.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

I was wondering when/if that was going to be announced.

That new event is why that the Northern ID teams are not able to participate in the PNW district during the 2016 season.

FIRST agreed to let N. ID teams participate for the 2015 season but then not enough of the teams wanted to join until it was time for registration. It was then decided that they would join for the 2016 season. However by the end of the 2015 season there was the effort to have this new Regional underway and the plan for N ID teams to participate in the PNW District was cut.

Definitely great for the S. ID teams but not so good for the N. ID teams.

So far what I saw on the first website this years schedule for events this year is certainly interesting if I may say

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

What is the location of the Idaho Regional?
We are also looking at LVR for week 5.
And still awaiting confirmation about status of Utah Regional.

We always like meeting up with 2122!

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

Venue is Taco Bell Arena on the BSU campus. Hope you and the Ravens can make it...

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

I view the creation of a new regional event that provides another competition opportunity for teams from Idaho, Alberta, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, NorCal, and yes, Washington and Oregon as a good thing for all teams within those areas.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

Utah Regional just posted for week 3! Ventura posted for week 4!

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

Australia is officially up, Week 3.
Dallas, same thing but for Week 4.
Montreal is up, Week 5.

Re: 2016 regional dates?
 

The Utah date makes me sad. With Colorado being only one week later, it's likely that many teams won't be able to make the trek out to Salt Lake; I know our team can't, given that it would mean two weeks away from school, with spring break immediately following. Bummer. Utah/Colorado was becoming a fun tradition.
