There you go.
Houston == South Super Regional
Detroit == North Super Regional
Once you have a big enough volunteer base, FRC champs returns.
I'm open to hearing from the naysayers on the thread about alternate approaches to implementing super regionals, that directly address constraints on event volunteer growth, the fuel that FIRST events run on.
I think this is exactly the right time to be announcing this. They want it out there prior to Champs so that they can get feedback and talk to the rationale behind the change. If they were really trying to hide the ball, this would come out at 8am on April 26, or they'd announce it at Kickoff.
