Arkansas Regional - Would You Come?

[DonRotolo]

Probably not, it's past our driving limit. Not that we wouldn't want to though.

[EOC]

1208 would love to come to the Natural State for a regional! Just as long as it is not back to back with the St. Louis Regional.

[James Tonthat]

I think we'd be interested, it's about 9 hr drive from where we are but if the stars line up and it's during our spring break, I think we'd be very interested in attending.

Keep us updated if any details might come up.

I think we'd give you serious consideration. We skipped OKC and St. Louis this year due to back-to-back scheduling with KC, and you would be in that same nice distance bracket.

There are also a couple of rookies this year in south central Missouri that I would assume might be interested from a pure range perspective.

[Meredith Novak]

We would do whatever possible to make sure it would not conflict or be back-to-back with GKC, OKC, or STL. That is one of the reasons for this thread: to determine the teams who would be interested, so we could avoid the scheduling conficts.

We would also have to avoid a conflict with Midwest as that is the Bomb Squad's "home" regional because of the Baxter sponsorship.

Scheduling is certainly tricky!

1723 would definitely consider coming, especially if it were later in the season, like week 5. We're going to back to back competitions in KC and St. Louis this year, and we'd rather have an extra week or two in between. Arkansas would be the next closest location for us.

[JTN]

I don't know if I could make it...

[LightWaves1636]

Well Meredith, after talking to the team, if the Arkansas Regional comes round....

...we are so totally fund raising to go!!

[treffk]

Yes, team 1802 would consider it. Our student members are looking to do out of state regionals.

[Matt704]

I think that you might get a some Texas teams there that want to compete in two regionals, but due to TSTA grants being given to a ton of rookie teams in Texas there are not enough openings in Texas to compete in two regionals. Arkansas would give another option to teams.

Our team would probably consider it, were going to Oklahoma this year, but if there was a Arkansas regional we would defiantly talk about going there. As long as it isn't in conflict with the Dallas Regional.

[dodar]

I'd say you would grab some Florida teams too

[Peggy Painter]

Team 3784 is interested. Fayetteville is about 2.5 hours drive from us.
