This is true, guess we'll just wait and see.

I'll be checking up on the venue websites for these events. If I see an update, I'll post and update.

Sorry Joe, forgot to hit save when I edited it last time.

MAR Champs and MSC were week 7 last year to avoid Easter weekend (Week 6). It doesn't surprise me in the least that MAR is moving to week 6 given that Easter falls on week 5 this year.

Northern Lights Regional

Duluth Entertainment Convention Center

Lake Superior will most likely be the same weekend. The DECC is massive, and can easily hold two competitions with room to spare.

SBPLI is scheduled for April 4-6

According to FIRST Israel, Israeli regional will be either 3/10-12 or 3/11-13, which puts us between week 2 and 3.

The MAR Calendar is still being finalized. There should be more information available in the coming weeks.

The spring break for the venue for the Arizona regional is March 11-22. This could be either week three or four, but it has historically been week 4.

Hmmm right in the middle of our break.

I've heard that the new Cali regional will be located in San Bernardino. No idea yet as to when the date/venue will be. Sacramento Regional will most likely be March 14th-16th, but it's not finalized.

According to FIRST Israel CMP will be in St. Louis, April 25th-28th.
I haven't seen any announcement of this from US FIRST.

I've sent a message to FIRST Israel regarding this.
Thank you

I think everyone hopes that they'll finally move to the Anaheim Convention Center. But according to their website, they're booked for most of March.

I haven't heard of any change in venue for LA Regional. Anaheim Convention Center would be cool, but it moves the venue further away from the teams in the LA area and closer to the San Diego and Inland Empire Regionals.
