Has that ever been a thing? Seems like South Florida is traditionally a late event.

This is a tremendous thing for the region as a whole. Peachtree and Palmetto have been absolutely stuffed to the gills the past couple years, Orlando fills up about as fast as ever, and the area really needed another event of capacity to serve the present demand. If it weren't Week 1 (same as Palmetto), we might even consider it.

As for a name, I looked for some big things out of Georgia. I suppose the Daisy Duke Regional, Walking Dead Regional, General Lee Regional, and Madea Regional are out. (And the "Miss Daisy Regional" would just be confusing.) Edit: For a not-Atlanta-but-Georgia reference: Shiny Happy Regional?
