2013 Predicted Events Calendar

[JohnBoucher]

Wow. Baltimore Week 7.

[BrendanB]

I'm excited for the Pine Tree regional! Its nice when there are five regionals within a two hour drive from your house!

[JohnBoucher]

New York City is a Thursday to Saturday this year! Was it that way last year? Our last visit was Friday to Sunday.

Has anyone heard about dates for the Hartford, CT Regional?

FIRST's schedule seems to indicate that all the MAR district events are TFS as opposed to FSS. Is that inaccurate?

Last year it was Friday to Sunday. We were there the 16th - 18th.

I wish the South Florida people could have gotten SFR to week 4 or week 6 because then Florida teams could possible throw in an OOS competition along with the 2 in-state ones.

The four finalized MAR district events posted by FIRST match up with the dates posted by MAR here. The difference is that the dates on the FRC blog cover two days, which is sometimes shifted to include the setup/practice day (or maybe match up with the FiM events, since they're listed together?). So far the Springside/Chestnut Hill district is the only TFS event, but the not-yet-finalized TCNJ event is expected to be TFS as well.

Week 1 
Hatsboro-Horsham
MAR:   March 1–3 [FSS]
FIRST: March 1-2 

Week 3 
Springside/Chestnut Hill
MAR:   March 14–16 [TFS]
FIRST: March 15-16


Week 3 
Lenape Seneca & Mount Olive Districts
MAR:   March 22–24 [FSS]
FIRST: March 22-23

The official calendar shows several Saturday Sunday events for MAR. http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...egional-events I'm guessing Frank was just trying to save typing.

The NYC dates conflict between Frank's post and the FIRST schedule on What's Going On.
I suspect Frank's is correct.

March 8,9,10
Friday/Saturday/Sunday

My best guess would be that you're right and the dates on the blog were shifted to match the MI districts (as Joe said, to save typing), but I was just wondering if there was official confirmation of that, since the official FIRST calendar isn't updated yet (only shows 2012 events).

Another great Chesapeake Regional brought to you by the folks who work so hard to make this a fabulous event. Sometimes you just have to roll with the cards you are dealt.

One thing I don't understand why First would schedule Calgary the same week as Spokane. Seems you will have two regionals drawing largely from the same pool of teams.

It's largely based on when dates work out with venues. Milwaukee and Chicago were the same weekend last year.
