I don't know the details (Mark Hamiliton probably does) but I would love to host a regional down here. I would want it to ve held at the Office Depot Center(Home of the FL Panthers)

To be a little more accurate in this statement...
SigmaC@T managed to bring in 2/3 of the money needed to run the UCF Regional, not a seperate regional.
However, we hope to have a South Florida Regional running here by 2005. We're currently working closely with iDen, DeVry and many other corporate sponsors to get the money together. I'm actually posting this being that we have this in our chairman's and we've told this to judges, so as far as I'm concerned...we really are working towards this.

Where it would be held still remains to be seen. Dillard HS has a pretty big Gym.... as big, if not bigger than the UCF gym. We probobly would not be able to get the Office Depot Center. It's huge, would cost waaay much, and would be beyond anything we'd need. All we need is a nice big Gym..and actually, now that I'm thinking about it, Dillard would work pretty well. If we cleared out the tables in the Cafeteria, that would be a perfect pit...maybe...
