Kind of disappointed that SMR closed up, but at 40 teams, that seems a little small, especially compared to what they were rocking last year.

I'm getting concerned for us on 2815--we registered for Palmetto first, and now Peachtree, Orlando, and Smoky Mountains are at listed capacity with North Carolina in single digits with two and a half weeks until second regional registration.

Aside from going on the waitlist and crossing our fingers, North Carolina is our only real hope for not driving six hours to a regional:

Peachtree Regional (Week 3, 219 miles, 3h29m)
North Carolina Regional (Week 3, 235 miles, 3h53m)
Smoky Mountains Regional (Week 5, 264 miles, 4h17m)
Virginia Regional (Week 3, 373 miles, 6h15m)
Orlando Regional (Week 2, 430 miles, 7h14m)
Washington DC Regional (Week 5, 484 miles, 8h7m)
Chesapeake Regional (Week 7, 521 miles, 8h52m)
South Florida Regional (Week 5, 619 miles, 10h10m)
Crossroads Regional (Week 6, 688 miles, 11h4m)
Bayou Regional (Week 4, 689 miles, 11h10m)
(Distances are pulled from Google Maps, using 2815's shop and the address listed by FIRST.)

It might be close to time for a fifth regional in the NC/SC/GA/Eastern TN area--there's certainly no shortage of venues capable of hosting it. (Columbia and Clemson would be natural choices, as Colonial Life Arena and Littlejohn Coliseum have each hosted the Palmetto Regional in the past, but Greenville and Charlotte could be plausible as well.)
