RPI regional

[Chris is me]

Some details from a recent e-mail blast:

• Show Ready says that RPI's ECAV as well as Robinson Gym (the Armory) are suitable venues for a 40 team max event. In addition, nearby Hudson Valley CC is also a suitable venue. Exact location should be decided soon.
• The regional is currently named the Tech Valley Regional.
• The event is expected to host 35-40 teams. With about a dozen local teams, there is PLENTY of room for Western NY, MAR, and NE FIRST teams.

I haven't heard anything official about this but I believe every attempt is being made to ensure this regional does not fall on the same week as Finger Lakes. As it is the only "local" "option" for Albany area teams, it's all but certain that many of us will attend it next year. So we end up on the road for about the same number of hours next year - it's just that they are all at once and we probably can't get away with leaving for a regional on Thursday morning anymore.
