Still waiting to hear when (and where) Los Angeles will be, and when Ventura will be, and some of the others out this way (Arizona and whatnot). California schools (at least ours) had their full year calendar set two months ago, and started school 4 days ago. It would kind of be nice to plan these things right around now.

Some of us 229 mentors were curious about how different the event availability would look if districts were open, so we decided to look it up and sort all events by driving distance from Potsdam. Here are the results http://m.imgur.com/lX2A9bN (couldn't figure out pictures on CD so I just put it on imgur). As you can see while the top few that are closest to us are regionals, if we can't get two out of those four, we have to travel a considerable distance. The three nearby district take away many potential areas (NE and Ontario are basically the same if you include the border crossing). Since we are somewhat limited to what weeks we would prefer to compete due to school, finding two events that work well for us is going to be very tough to do.

I'm not sure where you put hvr but it's probably going to be much closer to the nyc regional then an hour and a half difference. (somewhere around the Yonkers, new Rochelle area). I'm assuming that makes hvr farther from you.

Although, this is all speculation I have not heard of a specific venue being locked down for sure for either event. Now let's all hold our breathe in finding out the weeks for nyc, sbpli, and hvr.

We guessed on the location for HVR.

They booked up quick, I know with recycle rush we didn't apply until about a week before Tech Valley. I had gotten an email saying there were still spots left and I believe there was about 44 teams that year.

The biggest problem in the upstate region is either teams have to end up playing back to back, or all fight for the same events.

We would have loved to do Pittsburgh and FLR, but PITT filled up too quick. We were lucky enough to get NYC and FLR this year. Who knows if it could hold up again.
And in the past many upstate teams also flocked to Canada for events which made it easier to get 2 close events.

Last I heard, it was in Rockland County on the 24th-26th, but take this with a grain of salt.

According to the folks who just competed in China, a Chinese Regional has been confirmed for Week 2 in Shenzhen.

Just noticed that Smokey Mountains in Knoxville, Rocket City in Huntsville and Bayou in New Orleans are all scheduled on the same weekend. That puts us SE teams in a bind when we are trying to find places to compete. We'll have to travel a long way for a second regional.

I believe it will also hurt attendance at all three regionals.

GA teams also might not be able to make it our there either. Week 4 has been rumored to be a district event this year and it's likely at least half the teams in the region will be competing. That further limits potential entrants.

Yeah. Depending when the Texan or Midwestern regionals are scheduled, it could definitely hurt attendance even more. Hope it works out for you all in the Southeast.
