I thought FIRST considered things like that when organizing events, etc? Although I understand a lot of work goes into the process IMHO I believe that it would have been better suited to make OKC a second or third week regional.
Also I don't like Bayou being back to back with LSR. I think some teams aren't going to be up for that because that would mean losing 2 weeks of school almost [unless you're from Houston [because our spring break is during LSR week]].

PS. Dave, this is different than judging a game.

Remember that the dates are highly dependent upon when FIRST can book the arenas for the events. I'd imagine that it would be difficult to get *every* regional perfectly scheduled.
Hopefully, though, this will inspire more teams near OKC to start other FRC programs to help fill up that regional!
