Arkansas Regional - Would You Come?

[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.

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

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.

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.

I'd say you would grab some Florida teams too

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

Team 1319 likes to go to as many events as possible with a week in between each. Typically we try to go 3 regional events. If the regionals lined up right I am certain we would make the trip.
