Re: Arizona Offseason Events
I certainly would like to see an off-season event of this year's game, rather than other competitions like we currently have. The only off-season events on the west coast are CalGames (San Jose), Fall Classic (LA I think?), and Battle at the Border (San Diego). CalGames and Fall Classic always happen in October (problematic for AZ teams who don't want to do more travel, since we do enough during the Spring), and Battle at the Border looks like it too will have this problem since it's in September (before this year it's been in May, but falls right around finals-week for AZ teams since we get out end of Mayish).
There's probably not enough time for this year, but I would like to get an actual off-season event FOR THE SUMMER going next year. I would look at contacting DeVry about helping, our team has approached them about sponsorship before and they're interested in helping out FIRST teams, however they do not want to sponsor any single team due to past sponsorships issues and would rather help a group of teams.
