Even for local teams, don't expect to be going to school/work monday morning...

+1

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

work hard, play hard

I'll be back at work on Monday morning after this regional. Can't say the same for my parents (head ref and scorekeeper) they might require a day of recovery.

But I think the idea is that it means the students take fewer days off from school. Most students won't be driving and if it comes down to it, can get a bit of sleep on the drive home.

Still plenty of work to do on the robots over the last two weeks of build season!

We're getting back at 11:00 on Sunday and have school the next day. Should be interesting.

As a newly employed person, I don't think you understand how valuable vacations days are.

I hope everyone is excited for GSCR. Along with the debut of Recycle Rush, GA FIRST is going to be debuting its new entertainment format, Gametime. Akin to what you've seen in Orlando and at Chesy Champs, Gametime will provide the audience with a chance to learn more about the teams, the region, and GA FIRST.

Our commentators, Jerry and Annika, will be joining our emcees and game announcers to bring everyone match analysis, discussion of FIRST related topics, interviewing key figures in FIRST, and interviewing teams about some of the cool things they are up to.

While the event is gearing up to be a great show, we need your help!

If your team has something interesting to talk about, let us know by filling out this form. The Gametime crew will review your request and contact you if we choose your team for an interview.

See you all at GSCR,
- Sunny G.
