1816 would love to go beyond all belief... specifically me... but we have to figure out funding/mentor and chaperone availability before we can commit... hope to see you all there! Fingers are crossed.

When all is said and done there will be 54 teams at the West Michigan Regional. This was confirmed at our regional committee meeting Monday. So with 30 teams bidding on 16 spots, I would get your money in soon.

Same layout as last year with split pits. We are also looking at the possibility of adding another practice field. One for each pit area. Confirmation to come later.

I like to refer this regional as "The Battle on the Grand" since the GVSU campus is along the Grand River.

I may be wrong but i think Team 469 Las Guerrillas is definitely going to West Michigan. If we aren't in already then we are definitely on the wait-list for it. Hope to see all of you guys there! Have fun!

[Jimmy above me is correct - 469 is now in and confirmed]

After 5 years, 469 is finally returning to West Michigan! There is an amazing array of teams out there, with some of the best contending for the champion's title, and the Chairman's award. I look forward to having a great time there (I will make sure of that - it will be my last FIRST regional as a high school student)

On a different note, has anyone begun to make hotel arrangements? I'm looking though the regional website's hotel listing and starting to narrow down our choices. Where is everyone else staying (or planning on staying)? Its always more fun when there's another team occupying the same hotel as you. :D

Last year and the year before we stayed at the holiday inn, this year I have been told that 33 will be there and last year 27 was at our hotel. We will be there again I can get the information on it if you want? :)

Just wanted to share some good news. With the help of Team 111 (Wildstang), the West Michigan Regional will be webcast this year. Thank you Wildstang.

I am still working out a couple details with the University yet but I will have a link on the event website ( www.westmichiganregional.com ).

Stay Tuned.

As the regional approaches, we wonder if other teams have started making reservations. Being so far away and not knowing West Michigan (we've never been there before), we are wondering if teams could help with the best hotels in the area (is anyone actually staying in Allendale? The hotels we found weren't big and we couldn't make a reservation for the entire team - actually, not even half of it).

Any help is appreciated! ;)

how in the world did you decide on west michigan regional? i know it is one of the best regionals and michigan is kind of nice,but west michigan in march-something called lake effect-they just closed the campus. go to grand valley web site and check their campus web cameras. we stayed at the super 8 motel in hudsonville- free breakfast, indoor pool, 15minutes away, 220.00 two nites 4 in a room- 1-800-800-8000 good luck see you at the comp. you might want to post - brazil team help west michigan- you would get a lot more responses.
