Easier said than done Greg! There's a lot of work that go into regionals, and as great as it is when we have ample numbers of regionals, we also have to respect that they're already going crazy trying to run all of the regionals that we have already! Not trying to be harsh.....
Not harsh, lol. No, I understand what you are saying. It would not be easy to throw a regional together in a month, I would just LIKE to see it happen. I know that in the Midwest area, there are many teams that would like to see another regional. We have many teams in this area and those regionals are full. Just that teams that want to go to more than 1 regional are going to have a hard time (if they have not already signed up) because they may have to travel sometimes in excess of 8 hours (Not 71, just making a point). Take it from someone that has been on a 12 Hour bus ride, it is not fun...

I understand that a regional is almost totally out of the question, I think it however is needed because of the large number of teams this year.

Oh, FIRST also needs more staff, you mentioned that they are having trouble running the regionals as it is, FIRST either needs more staff or lengthen the season (competition section).

My opinions do not reflect the opinions of Team Hammond, Beatty Machine, School City of Hammond, or any one else but myself.

I would say that not only would it be hard to throw together a regional in a month, I'd say it's next to impossible. We've been working on the Rochester Regional for about the past two months (well, really since last spring but it really picked up steam this fall) and, at this point, we don't even have all of the committee heads finalized yet. To get a regional committee to the point of being able to hold a regional next year in a month would be an outragous logistic attempt. We already feel like we're behind schedule in Rochester and we have over a year to go.

As to FIRST needing more staff, I'm not really sure if that's going to be necessary. FIRST has started to rely more and more on local Regional Committees for the running of the actual regional. Through the way its running the regional process, FIRST is returning more to the grass roots effort that has worked so well with team growth.
