2015 Georgia Southern Classic Regional

[alicen]

Anybody out there excited for this brand new regional?!

The regional is going to be in Perry, Ga, which is where we held GRITS (off-season Georgia event) for the first couple of years.

It should be a good regional, there are a fair number of the staple Georgia teams, as well as a good number of teams we haven't seen too often at Peachtree in the past. It's also been set up to run Friday - Sunday instead of the usual Thursday - Saturday regional.

So who all is going? I'd love to hear from teams and vounteers!

Also, as a recent transplant from Atlanta into Orlando, are there any Orlando people headed to the Perry regional that wouldn't mind a travel partner?

I'll be headed back to GA for GSCR. This'll be the first time I'm not actually there competing with a team, so a regional of FIRSTs (lol).

I'm a recent transplant in north Tampa (~ 1 hour from Orlando) and am planning on heading up Thursday evening. I'll send you an PM.

Flash 1319 is excited about attending this new regional! It will be nice to see some familiar faces as well as teams we don't often see.

I am curious about how the Friday-Saturday-Sunday schedule will work. If all goes well maybe more regionals will move to this schedule?

I'm not a fan of this Friday-Sunday schedule. We're going to be driving (only) 140 miles on the way back, but I'm already planning to take time off from work and going to ask professors for course material ahead of time for that Friday and Monday.

With the Thursday-Saturday schedule, you could at least rest up on Sunday and be ready for work/school on monday...

FWIW we took Georgia Southern Classic of of our very small board for travel options with the Friday-Sunday. Did that at ye olde New Jersey Regional in 2010 and I remember taking a while to recover from that rather than the standard 24 hour turnaround for Regionals and the 36 hour turnaround for Champs.

Good luck though, y'all
