Both Tech Valley and Finger Lakes are held at colleges (RPI and RIT, respectively). This year, both schools have the same spring break, which severely impacts venue availability. No one wanted this. Many teams who have traditionally attended TVR and FLR (such as 2791) are upset that now we have to compete with both upstate and downstate teams in order to attend a second regional in NY.
