2010 Regional Dates
 
Hi all. Just received a flyer that said that 2010's Las Vegas Regional will be April 1st-3rd.

So I think it might be better just to consolidate all the regional dates [that we know of so far :/ - the official ones came out mid-September last year] into one thread like last year...

Kickoff: 1/9
Ship Date: 2/23

WEEK 1: March 4-6
Oregon Regional *

WEEK 2: March 11-13
New York City Regional (3/12-14)

WEEK 3: March 18-20

WEEK 4: March 25-27
SBPLI Long Island Regional *

WEEK 5: April 1-3
Las Vegas Regional

Atlanta: April 15-17

Just curious, but why is kick-off schedule for 1/9? Generally it's the first saturday of the year, which would be 1/2... Is it because of the fact that it's only the second after the new year or do you guys think it's some other reason?

That's been well-discussed. 1/1 is a holiday so freight shipping is at a standstill, leaving 1/2 as a "bad" day to get the Kits of Parts to their rightful places.

I wasn't involved in FIRST then, but this has happened before.

Yep. That debate was carried out a quite a bit ago. It's because January 2nd is way too close to the New Years Holidays for it to take place. FIRST staff and all of the students and mentors' families gotta have their holidays :)

We can also make reasonable guesses at many of the regionals that have traditionally been held during a particular college or university's spring break.

For example, in 2010, RIT will be holding their spring break from 2/28-3/7, so it appears likely that the Finger Lakes Regional would occur during Week 1 (Mar 4-6).

I will defer to the thread starter as to whether we should post estimates like this here or leave them out.

I have been told by Laurie Shimizu (who works closely with Mark Lawrence who is the brother of Susan Lawrence) that Midwest is week one and Minnesota is week five.
I would be pretty certain about Minnesota's weekend and week one has been Midwest's weekend for a while now.

And it also gives Dave an extra week to render the Game Video... on company time and not on his personal holiday time. :D

We know that registration for regionals start on 10/1. Does anyone know when the official regional schedule will be published?

As I remember it, the Palmetto Regional is still and Clemson (for better or worse) and scheduled for the last weekend in March--that'd be the 25th-27th. Don't quote me on that, though--I may be wrong for all I know.


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 13:28.
