Honestly, I don't like the Portland events being weeks 2 and 5. It means that a Portland team either has to travel, or do back to back events. Both of which have downsides. And since there is no washington event week 4, it means the only Travel event for oregon teams to not go back to back is philomath. If a week 4 washington event doesn't get added, there is going to be some major congestion in Oregon at Wilsonville and Philomath.

I'm with Thad here...not a huge fan of the Week 5/Week 6 turnaround. I'd imagine that Week 5 is the only date that works for Oregon City, but still, not perfect.

Re: 2016 regional dates?

Any information out there on the MN regionals? Will they be going back to their normal weeks 2 and 5 dates?

I really hope that Minneapolis stays week 6. With Wisconsin generally being week 4 for the last few years, teams like mine haven't been able to participate at the Minneapolis regionals being back to back.

I understand. Back to back regionals doesn't sound that feasible, although some teams have done it, but I can see why most teams don't want to.

I'll be fine if the Minneapolis regionals stay week 6, but what I really want is the Duluth regionals to move back to week 2 again because I would like to avoid the idea of attending a week 1 regional at all costs..

Nothing official yet... I know there has been difficulty scheduling venues so Duluth, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and a new regional (which I don't think has been officially announced yet) don't overlap has been difficult.

I will, however, point you to the list of NCAA Championship sites, which has a Women's Gymnastics event in the Sports Pavilion (where the 10,000 Lakes pits are) Saturday April 2, 2016, which is week 5. So, it's a safe bet the Minneapolis events won't be week 5!

Knowing last year's number and accommodating for only a small amount of growth, there really isn't an option to not have a 10th district. Last year, quite a few teams would have been extremely geographically inconvenienced without it. Unless there is other information in the wings, I'd bank on it popping up again. Let's just hope it's before everyone starts registering this time...

Yep, that sucks. Some venues are unavailable or unwilling to change time slots. While the FRC schedule has shifted, the available calendar dates for some places cause a struggle with planning. I'm sure that wasn't easy to account for this year.

Re: 2016 regional dates?

Whenever someone says a regional date is confirmed, I can only think its confirmed for Smash. I'd love to see Minneapolis on week 6 again.

Wait, the gymnasts don't want to compete in the robotics pits!? I just see it as an added challenge!

Re: 2016 regional dates?

I really hope the upstate New York events aren't back-to-back weekends again. That was terrible this year. No time for improvement between events and a ton of burnout. It also caused some of our Rochester friends to not compete at the Tech Valley event this year, which was unfortunate.

Normally both colleges do their events on one of the weekends of their spring break. In 2016, RPI's spring break is 3/14-3/18, and RIT's is 3/21-3/25. So as long as RPI does the first weekend of their break again and RIT does the 2nd weekend of their break, we should be fine. Tech Valley could be 3/10-3/12, while Finger Lakes could be 3/25-3/26.

This is nothing new though. There's only been one qualifying event there since the Spokane Regional started in 2012. There aren't even enough teams as is to fill a single district event in Spokane without others coming in for third plays.

Where will this new regional be and do you know what week? Is that even known yet?
