Hey Buz- I have a bug in the ear of the UTC coordinator for the regional. I am working on getting better conditions than what we've heard of and/or experienced this past weekend. The answer to your question (At least I thought it was a question) is (from what the latest update that I read on the subject)- you will be entered in all conference regionals and I would guess that you'd be able to vote there as well. Here is a copy of the message send via the March 6th EMAIL BAST Update that FIRST sends out:

Greetings Teams:

Qualified entries for the Autodesk Award for Visualization will be judged at all the regional events in the Conference your team selected on your entry form. Your team must be attending at least one of those regional events.

If your animation wins at a regional event your team did not attend, you will be notified by Autodesk that your team has won and is advancing to the professional round of judging. Best of luck!

This does not explicitely say that you will be judging in all regionals as well, while the original rules state that you will be judging only in the regional you choose to for being judged (not an exact quote)- there is an inherent flaw that was never addressed. I supposed there could be a problem with teams that have more money (ie the ability to attend more regionals) having more votes. We are attending UTC as well as the Philidelphia regional ourselves. So we'll get a first hand look at the situation as we experience it.

Good luck to all. This is just the beginning- It only gets better from here.
