So, you didn't get a call from them yesterday asking how your schedule looked in early March? That's too bad.
I don't have the slightest idea what caused the date change for this regional, but I feel pretty confident that FIRST tried everything imaginable to make the date and venue work as they'd intended. As far as I'm aware, FIRST isn't responsible for booking an arena in Portland, Oregon, so I don't see how they can be held responsible for someone double-booking that space; if that's even the case here.
FIRST
graciously offered to help teams out with any additional expenses incurred by this change. I don't see how they could have handled this any better than they have, honestly.
