Many other TBD dates that are still unannounced can be found on this website !

Re: 2005 registration dates posted
 

Has FIRST announced when any of the regionals are going to be, next year?

Re: 2005 registration dates posted
 

Was a notification email of this sent out through the TIMS?

Re: 2005 registration dates posted
 

FIRST recently said that dates should be posted soon and last year they were posted in August, so i would think they should be up in the next month or so, hopefully sooner.

Re: 2005 registration dates posted
 

Looks like Kick-Off is around the 10th of Jan this year. Funny, they announced the ship date, but not the kick off, you can kinda guess when the kick-off is by the ship date, and vice versa, unless FIRST threw us a curve ball, and we have 7 weeks to build (or 5! :ahh: )

Re: 2005 registration dates posted
 

I think the kick-off was released before, maybe, as January 8.

Re: 2005 registration dates posted
 

The 8th would make the most sense. It is the first saturday after new years weekend. There is no way they would do it on the first & no way they would only give us 5 weeks to build. They need success and they wouldn't get it by giving us only 5 weeks. As it stood I had already made our team calendar up with those 2 dates as kickoff & Ship Date.

Re: 2005 registration dates posted
 

Just for referance i would not say that the 8th is the kickoff date. I would wait until FIRST releases a date for kickoff before having people plan for the 8th. Though it may be the 8th, it could always be something else too...

Re: 2005 registration dates posted
 

The kickoff date was given at the team forums as January 8. See

OK, that's where I heard it from, I couldn't remember.

Re: 2005 registration dates posted
 

OK as long as its an offical date from FIRST i wouldnt go by it. I was saying that before is because when BRandon set up the countdown system he put a tentative kick off date on there and i wasnt sure if thats what they were going by for around the 10th.

Re: 2005 registration dates posted
 

Just from a historical perspective, last time the first Sat in Jan was the 1st (2000), kickoff was the 8th.

OT: You know what would rule (but never ever happen)? New years party followed by kickoff. "3...2...1...Happy New....oooooooh." ;)
