Had a feeling this would prove to be a popular location. It'll be great to meet up with some old friends and make some new ones. Many teams shy away from a week 1 regional, but with the addition of the Week 0 events last year we found the experience to be pretty smooth. This will be our second year in a row attending a brand new regional in week 1.

My guess is that we would have to contact FIRST in order to remove it from our TIMS account.

Fortunatly we saw the above quote a year ago and had the opportunity to work with FIRST HQ directly on the registration procedure. I see we were not the only ones in that situation. The regional has already moved 3 teams off the waitlist, presumably due to this complication.
