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.
