Or even decode the game clue(s).

Tonight's call has been postponed until Wed Sept 30 to allow the posting of the schedule before the call.

I realize that the information will be redundant at that point since teams will already have chosen their Regionals. But I had volunteered to host this call several weeks ago, and I will follow through with it. Please don't kill the messenger. :(

I'm more surprised that all the venues are not booked by now. Most places have events booked out 18-24 months in advance. Maybe it's all the extra logistics needed for the water game plumbing.

Actually, based on my experience on a regional Committee the hold up is either 1) Lawyers nattering about this or that minor point. or 2) the venue delaying things, possibly hoping for a better booking. FIRST puts on more events than most Rock and Roll concert producers, in an incredibly short period of time. (44 "shows" in 5 weeks spread out over the whole country, how many performers do that many shows in a year?) The might have a lot of failings but they do seem to have venue management pretty well down. At least when the venue co-operates.
