[BB] The List & A New Region 9-23-11

Silicon Valley is always our home regional, so we'll be attending that for sure. Glad to see SVR and SAC aren't the same weeks as predicted. The central valley regional sounds nice, too. Maybe team 256 will go there as well this year. Either that or SAC, but Madera sounds more fun. PLUS, new regional=new teams=not as much powerhouses (yet) as SVR and SAC, so it should be a lot easier.

Anyone else planning on the Central Valley Regional?

Eh, guess we're going to the same two events again.

I spent like 20 minutes taking this survey about awards, just so I could tell FIRST how I really feel about the safety award...and then it didn't even ask about it.

You weren't the only person with nice things to say about the Safety Award. Hehehe.

On topic though, I wonder how many MAR teams will go to NYC in week three...

Maybe they saw your post and took your suggestion.

I'm glad that our home regional is still during spring break...

I'm unsure if our school would let us go to 2 regionals if this wasn't the case.

This schedule puts a serious hurting on my off season scheduling. I'm hoping my job does the floaters again so I can still do both days of Battlecry, MARC and IRI. Otherwise someone is only getting me for a day (most likely Battlecry since they are set with a solid crew. IRI is set as well. MARC needs me so they get priority).

I like the proposed schedule, couldn't be more perfect for me....

Judge San Antonio
Compete San Diego
Inspect LA
Judge Arizona
Break <- Yeah!
Inspect - Central Valley (new)
Do something at Philly (say hi to my daughter at Drexel)
Go to work for a full week to catch up on emails
Inspect Championship (hello Galileo)

You've been to Philly like 3 times in the last year and never visit me? :/

Just out of curiosity, how do people feel about the Week 7 Regional Championships? Travel logistics are going to get a bit dicey a 10/11 days before the Championship...

Back in 2004, Championship was two weeks after Palmetto (which was then the last week of regionals, Week 5). If you think you can make it, plan ahead...worst comes to worst, you have a head start on next season's fundraising.

Hey, spending on how much the tickets cost you might be seeing me at Central Valley as a volunteer. I've wanted to hit a west coast event for years now.

Week 1 - Kettering - Inspect
Week 2 - Orlando - Inspect
Week 3/4 - Off
Week 5 - Boca Raton - Inspect
Week 6 - Madera - Inspect
Week 7 - MSC - Inspect

CMP - CMP - Not sure, perhaps FLL Judge


Might be able to drop in Palmetto since that is relatively close. All this is dependent on money and vacation time.

No Bag and Tag info. Too bad. Perhaps they ALL are bag and tag.

I don't think he knows if you're a real person yet.
