There have been some delays in other sites that needed launching before VIMS. VIMS will open for events on September 8 as far as I've been told.

... That's not what I'm getting at. Both of you have copied only the first line of my reply. I'm not complaining that the information is not available in VIMS just that not everything is finalized and that the thread title could be misleading.

Agreed... How about

Oh.

Yeah, I guess so. Since I often need to deal with imperfect information at work, and still make serious decisions based on that information, I suppose the small noise level didn't enter my radar. But, the caveat is right there for all to see.

EDIT: Also shows the way a quote, out of context, can be misleading. Keep that in mind when reading the newspaper or watching the news.

Well if the list is right about the Buckeye Regional moving to week one that’s going to be new for my team seeing how it was week 3 or 4 the last few years but I guess it will make for just as much fun.

Why are there two Minnesota regionals in the same week?

I think a better question would be why they even have 2 regionals at all.

Re: 2009 Regional Dates Announced (Unofficial)
 
Our state has so much budget cuts that all schools need our Governor to sign travel docs? **cant believe it**
I had to turn in travel docs already with exact dates, times, and airfare/car rental quotes.
Thank goodness for "unofficial regional dates" ;)

Team 359 will be attending West Coast this year.
1. Oregon week 2
2. Silicon Valley regional week 3 (home away from home)
3. Hawaii week 5
4. Championships (since we "unofficially" qualified already)

If we cant get the projected funds for this year, we will not be doing Hawaii due to double round trip robot transportation costs.

This is awesome news! We look forward to you guys coming back to San Jose. I was telling Alan at IRI how we miss seeing you guys and 368 at SVR every year.

I hope 368 comes too.
Perhaps a 254, 368, 359 alliance? ;)

i'm a bit excited to bump boston to week 2, yet a little saddened because it eliminates the chance for us to attend san diego or LA

i wonder if the Florida Regional will overlap with the FCAT(mandatory test for all high school students in Florida) again?

Nice to see a full set of options for teams in the southwest with weeks
1 OKC
3 Dallas
4 Bayou
5 Lonestar

Week two is State English/Language arts testing so that works really well.
I'll check the April test dates and championship and edit this post later.

Championship April 16-18
TAKS April 27 - May 1
Which gives a week to recoup and prepare for exams

If history serves to repeats itself, for the last 2 years the Regionals are release unoffically (usually Sept5 or 6) prior to the email blast which usually is released on Sept 12. Check out the 2008 and 2007 Email Blast Archive
