I'm sure Iowa teams would appreciate having a home regional. It would also attract some teams from MN, IL, and MO as well.

*Notes: Weeks are skewed thanks to the moved kickoff date. No more Shorewood district either.



Return to Portland 2016 Confirmed.

Here's a picture.

They've released the dates for the Lake Superior Regional and the Northern Lights Regional, looks like it's week 1 again.

Not everything I wanted. Mark Lawrence let us know that MPLS regionals are Week 6 - but I will take it.

He also stated the most likely date for the (probable) Iowa Regional would be Week 4. I think if that is the case it does not align well for the WI, MN, IL, and MO teams that want more variety in the dates offered (as it would be the same week as WI). Hopefully in future years they can get the Iowa Regional on week 3 or 5 away from WI and MN Regionals.

2016 is starting to take shape! Gotta love it!

Yeah, I heard Mark say it as well(At the MN First API presentation, Mark was there and mentioned it. I'm assuming you heard the news from the community round table at SRS?).

Mark gave it 50 or more % chance of that a Iowa regional would take place at the University of Northern Iowa- Cedar falls. Even though it's the same week as Wisconsin and possibly even Central Illinois, it certainly is exciting news for Iowa teams that a Iowa regional may take place next year.

It's certainly exciting that 2016 is starting to take shape. Now lets wait and see when Wisconsin, Central Illinois and Midwest regionals will release their dates.

Agreed. Regardless of the date, I am sure this will help to propel the growth in Iowa - something we greatly need if the Upper Midwest ever has a real chance of going to Districts.

It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for the Illinois regional dates. Last year they were posted in mid September.

My guess is that Midwest will land on Week 4 next year. (I have a hunch that I explained earlier in the thread.)

I personally like having the events Week 1 and 6 the best. Mainly because the anticipation of competing after just finished building the robot is too much, and getting to see the changes in gameplay between the first and last week are always fun to analyze. That said, Week 6 can be stressful for people who just have their first win then. Iirc, MN's events usually have 1 or 2 wild cards by that time.

That said, all aboard the hype train.
