Now that many regionals have no social, it gives teams the oppertinuity to hang out together in smaller groups. I temember last year, on the Thursday practice day of the SoCal regional, i went to dinner with team 60 after the pits closed. I had more fun there than i had at the social because it was not so loud and crowded. So just because there is no social does not mean you can't have fun. If you make friends at the event, do something with them that night outside of FIRST. All the regionals are held in medium or big cities, so i am sure there are lots of things to do, such as dinner, movie theateres, LAN places, after the comp is over for the night.
