Regional Competition date rumors

[Gary Dillard]

I figured this was a better place to post this than the rumor mill; in this thread there are several posts with semi-reliable information on the expected dates for the regionals which have not yet been "confirmed" and posted on the FIRST website. I thought I'd consolidate them here with the justification so you can make your own judgment for planning purposes. I'll try to keep this post updated as other information becomes available, and I'll remove regionals from the list as they make it onto the FIRST confirmed list.

I copied the regionals from last year's list, removed the Indiana Regionals and added a couple of new ones that have been advertised. Sorry, no District information - I'm not sure what's still missing there. "Blog Post" numbers are the posts from the referenced thread.

Oops sorry, I copied it wrong into my spreadsheet. Thanks for the catch.

The Indiana State Championship was announced as Week 6, April 3‐4. I don't know why it isn't on the FIRST event calendar yet.

What's the source on Smoky Mountain? Did you talk to LJ directly?

I sent him an email about a month ago and he replied with the dates, saying it had not been confirmed yet.

I received a PM from a reliable source that the Minneapolis regionals are moving from week 5 (as reported on the MSHLS Website) to week 6 due to a scheduling conflict, still unconfirmed. I updated the list to reflect this.

Lone Star will be week 6, according to a PM who says it's "confirmed enough"

The calendar of events for Avanti's Dome, the Central Illinois Regional's location last year, has an even listed in the evening of the 25th (wed). So perhaps it isn't there this year and no speculation can made quite yet on what week CIR will fall on.

Unless they move it to Friday-Sunday.

I'll leave the date for now and note your post, thanks for checking the venue calendar.

Thanks Meredith

She is a very nice lady - don't think she would mind.

Hub City jumped to confirmed on USFIRST today (same dates as "rumored") so I'm removing it from the list. That was the only addition to the confirmed list today.

Uh oh, it won't let me edit my first post; is there a limit to the number of edit's you're allowed?
