[FRC Blog] 2015 Events are Being Posted!

[Link07]

I've created a Google Spreadsheet to provide an easy to follow schedule of the 2015 events, for those currently trying to map out which events they will be registering for.

I've included events not confirmed on the FIRST website, but otherwise "confirmed" on CD and will update as necessary.

Corrections needed to the referenced Spreadsheet:
Queen City - Week 6 has posted officially - remove it from the Unknown list.
Las Vegas - still not posted officially (would not trust "confirmed", there could be issues; since it was not included in the last batch of official postings) - would include it on the Unknown list with the still missing Israel & Western Canada Regionals.

Updated Queen City (seems like a less than ideal week considering Buckeye is Week 5)

I'm keeping Las Vegas where it is until other information pops up (this is unofficial after all)

Edit: The FIRST website has also updated all of the district names (i.e. MAR District #1 is now titled Hatboro-Horsham Event), and I've updated the spreadsheet to reflect this, although some of the names are in discrepancy with what has been posted on District websites

Also looks like Bayou is on there twice, under both Week 4 and Week 5. Should just be Week 4.

Oops, not sure how I missed that. Corrected now

Las Vegas week 5 confirmation to FIRST should occur Monday the 21st and hopefully be posted by FIRST on Tuesday...yeah I know, cutting it close. Fortunately, historically , 75% of teams at our regional are second event players so scramble to sign up not likely on the 25th. Now second event registration date is another thing...

Oh boy... Now we're going to have a long conversation about which second regional to attend. Is open capacity to stay the same as the last couple of years, around 45 teams at posting?

[JB987]

Tom,
Open capacity for LVR should stay about the same as previous years. Limiting factor continues to be a matter of seating as you probably know...we have room for well over 60 pits but are limited in seating capacity for the field side.

Western Canada has moved from Olympic Oval to Ernest Manning High School...

Israel has been posted as Mar 9-12, so the traditional week 1.5.

No Vegas yet.

Actually, March 9-12 would be considered Week 2.5 (Between Week 2 and Week 3 events)

Additionally, the Week 1 Indiana District (Perry Meridian) is being moved to a new, TBD location.

That's too bad. I know for me, being at an FRC event at a venue with such huge historical sporting significance (site of numerous speed skating world records) was pretty inspiring. Not to mention the venue was extremely spacious and located right on the campus of the University of Calgary. I'm sure the new location will be still be great, but it will be hard to match the standard set at the Oval.

For Canada, the water game would be an ice game?
