Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

In all seriousness, the 2017 schedule is 4 events short of the 2016 total... Here's what we know are missing (not including specific district events):

• Israel District
• Michigan State Champs
• Australia Regional
• Central Illinois Regional
• Greater Kansas City Regional
• Lone Star Regional ( + another possible new Regional)
• Los Angeles Regional
• Mexico City Regional
• Minnesota 10,000 Lakes Regional
• Minnesota North Star Regional
• Orange County Regional
• Queen City Regional
• South Florida Regional
• (Rumored) Hudson Valley Regional

And registration opens in < 10 days.

Am I missing any?

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

The Israel regional no longer exists because Israel went district.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

My guess is he said Region instead of Regional to denote their district events and district championship.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Yeah, small brain-fart on that one... I called it a region not a district. Edited. :)

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Michigan State Champs (since DCMPs count as regionals in most ways)

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Along with Lone Star there may or may not be another Texas event. As they said, "Additional FRC Regional events may be added this year in order to accommodate the anticipated team growth", when announcing that Texas was not going to districts in 2017.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Added MI State Champs and another possible TX regional in addition to Lone Star. Edited earlier post.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Montreal regional doesn't seem to be officially posted, although their website has dates for 2017 on it.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

With the posting of the Orange County Regional (week 5), we are now up to 124 events.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

South Florida is week one! Montreal is week four!

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Woohoo! We're at UC Irvine. Maybe we'll register OC instead of LA.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Anyone know where exactly it'll be at UCI? I'm excited to see what that planning committee will do with a bigger venue. Last season's event was run very well.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Israel has listed three event but they don't have a name yet.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

It now shows 4 Israel events with no names plus the Israel DCMP

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Central Illinois Regional posted for Week 3 and LPS Angeles for Week 4.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Congrats to Australia, who will be holding two Week 3 regionals this year: Southern Cross (Mon-Wed) and South Pacific (Thu-Sat). That's some interesting scheduling; I wonder how many teams will go to both.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Just a week straight of FRC... I wonder if it's their school break or something...

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

The Hudson Valley Regional has now been officially announced for Week 4 (Thursday 23-Mar - Saturday 26-Mar-2017) at

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Where can you find the available spots on the new website?

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

I use either of this site or this official one. I have also been adding all of the regional and MAR District Event info into my own Google Doc, including registration counts from last year.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

And... the Los Angeles Regional is posted.

Updated list of the missing....

• Israel District
• Michigan State Champs
• Australia Regional (2) Week 3 Regionals
• Central Illinois Regional Week 3
• Greater Kansas City Regional
• Lone Star Regional ( + another possible new Regional)
• Los Angeles Regional Week 4
• Mexico City Regional

136 Listed, 7-8 to go, total of 143-144 vs 127 for 2016 season or about 13% growth in number of events.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

So the new HVR has a 24 spot initial capacity, and so does NYC this year. Assuming those events both end up at somewhere like 35-40 teams a piece, that's just a few more spots than the single NYC regional had last year. If upstate teams want to attend HVR, it's going to be a tight fit.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

It's not like there are a lot of options for us... I'd consider Montreal, but travel outside the country will be a problem. Hudson Valley is the only other remotely economical option we have. And interesting you mention 24 slots, TVR is starting at 26, and should hard cap at 36 (unless they start adding tents). If HVR is starting at 24, are they capping at <36? Ugh.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

I have no inside info, but I expect that the final cap on HVR will be at least 36. They are likely keeping the initial cap smaller to make sure local teams looking for a second play will be able to get in later.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

I heard a rumor Long Island was going to be bigger this year to accommodate the redistribution of teams at events, but LI was already a 50 team event to begin with.

I legitimately don't know how NY is going to fit the teams that want to attend their events. TVR is going to be begging for teams to come, and HVR/NYC are going to be packed to the brim with a waitlist.

5254 could maybe attend Ohio events or Montreal, but it's super inconvenient. And even if we do HVR, we're pretty much guaranteed back to back events again!

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

I'm pretty convinced there will be more than a few NY teams that are one event teams this year, not constrained by budget but by the event schedule. Who can game registration timing the best? That's who gets two plays.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

To be fair, Michigan Champs doesn't need to be posted for a while.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Maybe Montreal will see a few more teams wandering across the border to play with them.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Having attended and volunteered at LI, that place is filled to the brim. Other than removing the practice field, I see no way of getting more teams in there (and even then that would only add at most 4 teams).

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Ditto I am amazed they fit the amount of teams that they do and still have 10x10 pits. Only thing I could think of is pushing the bleachers back but then I doubt there would be enough seats and viewing the event would be suboptimal.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

There's the 8x8 pit option, but that's called "crowded". If you've got 4 pits in a row, you can squeeze 1 more in by doing that... at the expense of a decent pit size.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

The number of SBPLI team pits is actually limited by Fire Marshal rules, because of the total number of people on the floor and in the facility.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Honestly, the situation in New York is upsetting. Aside from us not having Javits, a huge venue that is awesomely inspirational, Hudson Valley was supposed to allow MORE double plays in NY, not fewer. The upstate regionals are both on the same day, which would seem like, at least to me, upstate teams are going flock south. I'm hoping this is just a glitch and the capacities aren't actually this low, but I'd hate to see my last year be limited to one regional because of these low capacities.

If we had districts, this might be less of a problem, but as it stands, we don't. We just have largely downsized regionals.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

On the bright side, this Hudson Valley event is definitely another step towards districts. It's just an awkward teenage step when combined with all the scheduling conflicts.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

I started a new thread to discuss the New York Regionals so we can keep this thread about more general event postings.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Brazos Valley Regional in Waco, TX and ONT - District Windsor Essex Great Lakes Event, both posted for Week 5

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Nope, not school vacation. We just outgrew one event!

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Ooh, a new Texas Regional. I could see a showdown of some top Texas teams happening in Waco this year.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Congrats on another Regional, Australia! The more Aussie teams that come to champs, the merrier!

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Weirdly Brazos Valley is listed as a district event currently.

Also Lone Star posted kind of...

There will be 2 Lone Star events:
Lone Star North at College Park High School in The Woodlands, TX (Team #1477 Texas Torque's school) Week 5
Lone Star Central at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory in Houston, TX (one of Team #3487 Spectrum's schools) Week 3

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

In addition to the two Lone Star Regionals being posted for Week 3 and 5, the Minneapolis regionals (North Star and 1000 Lakes) were posted for Week 6.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Updated list of the missing....

• Michigan State Champs
• Greater Kansas City Regional
• Lone Star Regional Houston Week 3, Woodlands Week 5
• Mexico City Regional
• Minnesota 10,000 Lakes Regional Week 6
• Minnesota North Star Regional Week 6
• Queen City Regional

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Brazos valley has also been corrected from a district to a regional. Sorry.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

FIM DCMP is back for Week 7.

Greater Kansas City is posted for Week 3.

Miami Valley Regional is a new Week 2 regional in Springfield, Ohio.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Site TBD. Intriguing.....

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

emphasis mine...

Miami Valley is the former Queen City Regional - due to un-availability (construction/ renovation) of the CINTAS Center at Xavier, we needed to make the change. Same crew planning the event as the prior Queen City, with a few great additions from the area. Look for many more details and updates. Registration for the 35 teams (not including "hold-back" slots) in this week two event will fill quickly!

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Greater Kansas City is week 3.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Penultimate Updated list of the missing....

• Michigan State Champs Week 7
• Greater Kansas City Regional Week 3
• Mexico City Regional
• Queen City Regional Now Miami Valley Week 2

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

And Mexico City has been added... In week 9?!

Link to Site Info gives a 404, so not sure what the deal here is.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

I'm going to guess that they don't have firm dates set for the venue yet, but wanted to get the Regional up on the site by tomorrow so teams could register for it if wanted/needed.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Found the right link...

http://www.firstinspires.org/sites/d...C_SiteInfo.pdf

And yeah, no dates available.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

I guess they'd rather be an off season event.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
 

Hi guys, how to view which teams have signed up for events and how many spots are left? Thanks in advance.

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
