That is correct Lizzie, there are more in the area now in the Fall. As Sean stated, girlPOWER, Duel on the Delaware, Brunswick Eruption, and Ramp Riot are all in October and November now.
As stated above, Sean,, we were thinking of doing it in the spring because of the lesser number of other offseason events around us: Monty Madness and BR^2 are the only two. Monty Madness, if held on the same weekend, will take place on May 18th, 2013. However, since Team 303 is holding an official MAR district just two months prior, we were wondering whether or not they will hold BR^2 again. We have emailed their head mentor Paul Kloberg, but have not received any reply yet. If they are unable to, that would make Monty Madness the only spring offseason event around.
The summer we were worried about getting into. While we probably could hold the event at our school during a Saturday then without a problem, we were concerned about whether we would get enough volunteers and teams to attend, with schools being off and many people going away on vacation.
