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.

I like Weeks 2 and 5. 2 is early, but not week one, so you actually know kind of what the game will look like, and 5 is early enough for teams to be able to really plan for championships, and implement changes between all three events.

Right- everything is pushed forward a week because of the weird kickoff date. Hopefully TVR will be week 2, then.

Last year they had to be back-to-back because RIT and RPI had the same spring break. This year, their breaks are off by one week.

Israel has dropped in between weeks two and three and Hawaii is week five after all and has left me once again contemplating which event to attend Hawaii or Las Vegas.

Good to see Western Canada venue is back at Olympic Oval. Should serve as a draw for more teams.

Just got this in an e-mail today:

Arizona will hold two FRC Regional Events in 2016. There will not be a regional event at Hamilton HS in Chandler in 2016.

o FRC Arizona North Regional
Northern Arizona University
Flagstaff, Arizona 86011-6026
March 10-12, 2016


o FRC Arizona West Regional
Grand Canyon University
3300 W Camelback
Phoenix Az, 85017
April 7-9, 2016
Neither Arizona competition will conflict with Las Vegas this year which is awesome news for the mountain region. The new North Regional is early enough relative to Vegas that all the teams in the Northern AZ/Nevada/Utah area should have a much easier time attending multiple events.

The West Regional is going to have its hands full with it being the only event in Phoenix. It could barely handle the ~30 teams there last year, the pit setup is going to have to get really creative to meet the demand that East usually had. Either that or a number of Phoenix teams are going to be traveling to NAU...

So far, we are batting almost .000 looking for something in our area that will work.

Kansas City, Alamo, and Rock City are all the same weekend at the FTC South SuperRegional (which we could qualify for, but who knows? Still have to plan for it).

OKC is Easter weekend.

I guess that Lone Star is a possibility in week 6.

So Kansas City will be Week 2 (March 10-12) then. I don't see it on the FIRST webpage, but KC FIRST has it confirmed here.

Wonder why in Flagstaff and not at Hamilton. That same weekend is still smack in the middle of Hamilton's 2 week Spring Intersession, like normal past events. That is going to be hotel for a lot of teams that normally do not have that issue. Hopefully GCU can figure out the pit space as I think it will be at capacity next year.
