Bleachers full of yellow and black :D

Well since it was announced today that competition season will be only 5 weeks I wonder which regionals are being squished together in one weekend.

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

Dont forget us.... that is if we decide to go... ^__^

NC regional.... interesting.

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

The only week 6 regionals were the Minnesota events and the MSC, so I'm thinking it's safe to assume those are just being moved around rather than everything compressing.

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

Come to Florida, the bleachers are yellow and black.

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

We can paint the George R. Brown Convention Center bleachers for you...:)

I understand that week 4 will have the most competitions, with week 5 being the lightest.

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

That was an awesome conference and a great speech!
Looking forward to working with the Awkward Turtles this coming year and attending the Tarheel Regional! :D

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

VCU is always packed in with 65+ teams. I would expect that VCU-attending teams would appreaciate more than 7 matches with fewer teams. Only attending 7 matches in an entire season is somewhat depressing cost-wise when you compare it to the Michigan model where teams had 20+ matches by default (who also proved to be statistically superior in Atlanta...).

This also allows the Charlotte Metro area to finally get off its butt and have a home regional. Compared to the amount of tech. (think UNC-Charlotte area) firms in Charlotte, there have been relatively few FRC teams over the years.

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

I emailed the regional director for N.C. and it looks like the new Tarheel regional will be in the Dorton Arena during week 5. But she cautioned that it wasn't 100% official. She also stated the VCU, MD, and DC would not conflict. GA is week 1, and SC is week 4.

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

Team 79 is on the wait list for the NC Regional. We might look into the other regionals that week but we hope to get in for Raleigh.

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

Bacon is a go for NC Regional....I can see us sharing a bus with Krunch or BAD!! Cant wait

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

Well this is ideal timing. While some sick-nasty notorious florida teams are coming to my home state, I'll be 2,000 miles away (probably taking exams). Hopefully I can watch via webcast....

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

Stalkers - you found us in CT last year, and now you'll find us in Raleigh. Should be a fun time!

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

mmmm KRUNCHy E.L.I.T.E Bacon

Re: 2010 North Carolina Regional
 

79 is also going to Lone Star ! The only non-Texas team to register so far.
