Unless it is on the FIRST calendar, it is not confirmed.

There's a bit of a delay for FIRST to post the events on their calendar. An event is official when the contract is signed with the venue.

Not exactly. With FIRST allowing registration for events 6-7 months in advance, sometimes contracts are not signed until weeks before the event takes place. This is not by choice, but some of the smaller/newer venues (i.e. districts) have to hash out details for a while before a contract is signed.

From the original FRC Blog Post (and the first post in this thread):

.... ‘Confirmed’ means either that FIRST HQ has a signed agreement with the venue, or that District organizers have passed along to us firm information on their events.....Events will be posted not later than a week or so after the information is confirmed.

So it sounds like for Regionals it means they have a signed contract, for Districts I guess the interpretation of "firm information" is up to the District organizers.

As he's one of the FTAs in the region he probably has more knowledge than the average bear.

I've heard this as well, but it's hearsay. I'd bank on it being Week 6 even though a Week 2 would be awesome for the event.

A contract hasn't been signed yet and it is not offical, but I don't expect the date to change.
