Go to Post Q&A is certainly a good route to take, but depending on how gray the topic in question is, CD is certainly a good place to ask the question. - slijin [more]

Let me respond to those comments because I can.
1) I agree that the New England Regional has too many teams attending.
2)The nearest venue is NYC and then probably Long Island. Neither which (as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong) have had any problems with overcrowding.
3)If there's a regional in Worcester or Boston I sincerely doubt any teams from NY or PA would go. As far as NY is concerned, most of the teams are from either NYC or Long Island, which is why there are regionals in both those locations. Second of all, for NY, the remaining teams (and there aren't too many) are Upstate and considerably Upstate at that (we're about equidistant from NYC, NJ, Philly, and CT -- we go to NJ). PA has too many attractive regionals to add another and get people to go.
3)I believe FIRST started in neither Boston or Worcester. But unless you refer to Manchester, that doesn't really support that claim. And while Manchester may sound like an attractive idea, I don't think it has the best location (you'd only have people coming from the south -- there's nothing north or east of Manchester and not too much west) but that's just my opinion.

To make myself clearer...
1) Yes, I was referring to Manchester and I don't truly understand why Matt you are having such a hard time trying to grasp this concept. If you were to name the three places in New England where you might hold a Regional you would either hold it in Boston, or Manchester. Now because FIRST has a lot of support in Worcester; it is also a consideration. Now I know the statement that you made saying that nobody from NY or Pennsylvania would come is false. I know people who travel from New York and Pennsylvania who travel for tournaments all the time in another hobby that I am involved in. The reason why they come is not due to the fact that there isn't a competition in New York or Pennsylvania, but because of competition, and with all of the veteran teams originating in this area I think this could become the superstar Regional they could become a preview of the finals in Florida.
2) Second your claim about nothing being north or east of Manchester who needs teams from the north or east. You have roughly thirty teams from either MA, RI, or CT. Then you add in the teams from NH, VT, and ME and you have a good-sized regional in the late thirties to the forties in # of teams.
Anyways just thought you would like to be corrected, however you are right that Manchester is not the right place the right place would be Boston
Todd who is right now dreaming!!
