Pick Six!

Every place I go everybody always tells me how fun it would be to do what I do and go to a regional every week of the year. So what if you didn't have to worry about how much it cost (it's a tax write off by the way) or time off from work where would you go.
In case you have forgotten my regular season schedule is:
FLR
Florida
Chesapeake
Midwest
GTR (doesn't matter West or East they're right next to each other in the same building)
Boston

Go for it!

Re: Pick Six!

Hmm....

Week 1) BAE
Week 2) Florida
Week 3) Chesapeake
Week 4) Palmetto
Week 5) GTR
Week 6) Michigan State Championship

(Just an aside to those who haven't tried: I've done the back-to-back-to-back events thing before for three weeks of events with travel involved. It's more taxing on the body than you think!)

Re: Pick Six!

In bold is what I really did/do this year.

(Alamo if I was really picking)Kettering
Florida

Boilermaker
Midwest
Smokey Mountain
North Carolina

I found that going to events two weeks in a row while adding in school and work is taxing on the mind, feet arn't faring too well either.
