I've heard about the South Carolina Regional too, but mine said Charlotte as the location in North instead of South.

I can believe South Carolina and Denver, but not Boston, Mass.

New England already has two regionals, unless they know that there is going to be an big influx next year, or BAE or UTC will be eliminated/moved, I can't really see a big demand for a regional.

I wish it would come though. Boston MA would be a very good place to host a regional.

That would be 3 regionals in a really small area but if consider thats the home of FIRST and the HUGE amount of teams in that small area its not totally unreasonable. It would be more logical to increase the size of BAE and UTC rather than add a new one. NY has 2 regionals this weekend and a few miles away is J&J. so its not like 3 close is impossible. Another area that could use a regional is the Rochester area, plenty of teams and no regional very close.

I'm not too sure that Denver will be getting a regional...
last I heard there needed to be like 7ish (I'm not too sure on the number) new teams in Colorado for that to happen.

But I guess I'll believe it, that information was pretty old. I think that was early February, so yah...

There is a bit of discussion about a Boston Regional in this thread, but I have to agree with the posts there that having three regionals within 70 miles of each other is probably a bit excessive, considering that places like North Dakota still don't have a regional within 1000 miles. Considering that FIRST has already had to 'streamline' several regionals this year, I hope they aren't overextending themselves.

SBPLI, NY, and J&J are within 70 miles and the 2 in NY are on the same weekend. Since there are 70 teams total in NH, MA, and CT its not like theres a lack of demand in that area. A regional in Denver would help out the teams in the Mid-West(even the 8 teams from ND).

San Diego

Yes, I do believe there will be a San Diego regional next year, as we, the gila monsters, will be volenteering for it. We already signed up

Cornell University was pretty interested in starting a regional in Ithaca, NY for next year, but when we contacted FIRST they said that there may already be a new regional starting in another city in the upstate NY region. I know the city but am not going to tell
