This seems to be inline with a "Private Event" that's happening at the Center from 3/1 to 3/3. That might be the regional.

Man, Smoky Mtn at Week 1 sounds like a real bummer.

Peachtree is week 3 according to the director of sales at the Gwinnett Center. That should complete our teams list of possible destinations. I wish we could travel far, but money is always tight.

Finger Lakes Regional

RIT holds the Finger Lake Regional during the second weekend of Spring break. According to http://www.rit.edu/calendar/ , it would be held Week 2 of the FIRST season.

While it isn't confirmed until it's confirmed by the higher-ups, it can be considered highly probable FLR will be Week 2. (*squeel like a fangirl*)

The israeli Regional - 5-7 March, that's a bit early because in the past few years it was held two week after that date...

Like how VAR isn't in that weird week six time it was last year. The Week 1 years were lame, and week six was very anxiety-inducing.

I hope FIRST hurries up and releases the regional schedule soon.
I have a vacation schedule to plan.

You can add the South Florida Regional to weeks 4-6 with an * next to each because we know that they will atleast be 2 weeks or more apart from the Orlando Regional and Orlando isnt gonna be moved from week 2.

MSC is being done as a week 7 event? Interesting. I assume this is because of the Week 6/Good Friday conflict, right?
