Uh oh
 

Let's think about some logic-
Every year a few hundred more teams sign up...
FIRST is short on money...

Maybe they'll only let the top ten qualifiers from every regional go to Nats or something like that- because with almost 400 teams eligible this year it ain't gonna be easy paying for everything.

Not likely this year - if that was the case all those ODD teams cut out last year will go through the roof.

I think FIRST is doing their best to come to terms with a Disney venue and date. I just hope they can get the deal made soon.

WC

.... And all of the even teams who qualified with points from last year.

Vegas?

Uh, No. If you've been there, don't say Vegas, Dean would rather sell out to Comedy Central than go there.

*chuckle* If you're willing, tell me why?

Despite what people want you to believe, many good holtel rooms there cost a lot, the only thing to do is to gamble then see a show or shop. There are people on the street handing out "bad things" and it's hot and deatly dry. And where could they hold it?

*grin* Yes, when we had to move there I was terrified for the kids' sake. I researched and discovered there's normal in Vegas. We lived there for nine years. Been in Redondo Beach CA since '99. SOOOO glad to have the beach back rather than desert. My adult son's family still lives there. We're rooting for all the newbie teams from Vegas that started last year.

There's rides, shopping and restaurants like at Epcot, and isn't FL hot?

Me, I'd prefer Epcot. 2nd would be Disneyland. After that, Vegas might work.

My husband/mentor says:
They should talk to the Convention and Visitor's Authority, they are always looking to "enhance" the bad image of vegas. Circus Circus or MGM would probably love to host it.

From me again.
I HATE Circus Circus

If Championships were held in Vegas, I would not go.

Las Vegas is one of the few places on Earth that I consider to be disgusting, insulting, and disturbing. It epitomizes exactly what I consider to be wrong with society, and I would rather fly five times as far, bear the heat, and even give Disney some of my money (anyone who really knows me knows how much I don't want to do this) than go to Las Vegas.

Other than that, how do you like Las Vegas?

From FIRST to main contact.....
 

"We also want to give you an update on the Championship. We are very close to finalizing the date and location for the Championship and plan to make a formal announcement next week. Again, we apologize for the unforseeable
delay and still strongly recommend against making any travel arrangements at this time."



Hmmmmm.....doesn't sound like Orlando!!

Re: From FIRST to main contact.....
 

As Krass said, we've been upgraded to the Magic Kingdom!

Re: From FIRST to main contact.....
 

Not necessarily. That could mean anything. We'll just have to see. It's hard to predict what FIRST will come up with for anything.

Only if all of First learns spanish and packs a gun (I'm only half kidding)

Yes, but which half? ;)
