Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar

Assuming these dates hold up I see a lot of negotiating with our building administration over field trip dates, especially considering Champs is the week before AP exams if we qualify.

I have seen the discussion about AP exams and whether the FIRST Championship affects the students' preparation. I believe that if the student knows the material from studying throughout the year he or she should be able to do fine on the tests. You should read this thread. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...champions hip

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar

Also, the Arizona Regional must have been renamed the phoenix regional. I believe they did this because Arizona FIRST was hoping to host a regional in Tucson this year, but it didn't go through. You can remove the Arizona regional from the list.

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar

Can someone clarify the MN regionals?
Is there a new one during week 2 in addition to the 2 already planned tentatively for week 3?
Or did one of the previous MN ones become replaced with the Northern Lights one?

Since we cannot go to the Alberta one during week 6 (Hawaii regional) , it looks as though week 2 and 3 in the same city would both be cost effective and a great place for snow activities for our students.

I really hope the official calendar comes out a little sooner than the week of registration. getting agreements from the school administration on when the students can be out, aligning a regional with our spring break, and coordinating mentor schedules is a big deal, and the sooner we know, the better.

Thanks, everyone for providing information on when a lot of the regionals are. Now I only have 10ish permutations to work through, rather than 100s.

There will be four regionals in MN this year. 10,000 lakes, North Star, The Northern Lights Regional and Lake Superior regional. In previous years North Star and 10,000 lakes have been during week 5. It doesn't make sense that Lake Superior and Northern Lights would be in different weeks though. It doesn't sound right because I'm pretty sure the whole reason they were adding the Northern Lights regional was they wanted to have two regionals at the same time in Duluth.

The last time I talked to the volunteer coordinator, I was told that it was going to be a double regional. I haven't heard of this changing in the last few months since I last talked to her.

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar

I imagine that the housing calendar got pulled as soon as FIRST HQ realized (from this thread) that it was inadvertently put up. That's happened before, too.

Last year they didn't get all the contracts squared away and the dates officially blessed and published until two days before Registration opened.
Even then San Diego threw them for a loop at the end of October after teams had already registered and had to change venues, as well as weekends.

In most years FIRST always tries to get the dates published by mid-September. It's just that the contract signing rarely goes as expected and gets delayed or the dates move or the venue has to move.

FIRST has started publishing the Local Kickoff venues and info.

Re: 2013 Predicted Events Calendar

I am not sure if you have this in this thread yet.

Seattle is going from a double regional to a single regional.

There is a new "Central Washington Regional," though I am not sure where it is located.

•Portland March 6-9 (64 teams) (week 2)
•Central Washington (52 teams) March 20-23 (week 4)
•Seattle Century Link (64 teams) March 27-30 (week 5)
•Spokane April 3-6 (52 teams) (week 6)
