Perhaps, we should promote a hashtag for all of MAR (not just this event) to use in the future. It could become well known around FIRST and used for all MAR events. My suggestion is #MARobots (#MARobo, #MARFIRST, or#omgmar could be good, too). In order, to promote the new tag (whatever that is) to a larger audience,
#omgrobots should be included in most tweets (the 2 championships are the only events next week anyway). #FRC(+ Regional Code) and #omgrobots are probably the only well known tags (internationally) in FIRST.
Maybe LibbyK can help originate a new tag for MAR. She is coming to MAR champ and didn't she originate #omgrobots?

Rutgers got the "nj" suffix, and they already used "phl" for the chestnut hill competition, which is in greater philadelphia I suppose.

Since Rutgers was the site of the NJ regional before 2004, I think that is why it got the NJ legacy tag. The standard format for new regional codes seems to be 2 letter postal code for state (or province) + first letter of town: (not that eveyone follows it)
NJF -
New
Jersey
Flanders
OHC -
OHio
Cincinnati
Many of the FiM codes are based off of Michigan counties or their 3 legacy regionals (GL MI DT). Gull Lake district (MIGL) is the only 4 letter code. It is in Kalamazoo County so I guess they passed on KZOO
