Maybe they are trying to get a District Event scheduled and approved to take place during 'Week 0.5', so the Palmetto Regional will not be all alone during that competition week.

I think that would be a mistake. It also doesn't go with what FIRST said when announcing the Palmetto event. Palmetto would be the exception and not the rule.

No in the original webcast about the district, they stated that one competition would be week 1 and two competitions on week 2-4. Probably 1 in VA and 1 in MD/DC each week, with Week 1 being a VA district. I'd bet that one is probably the northern VA one; it allows the most teams to access it within a reasonable time, making week 1 possible for many more teams.

You both are taking this all way too serious. PNW has posted their event schedule, but they are the only current district region to do so. FIRST Chesapeake is doing just as good as the other remaining district regions (MAR-NE-FiM-IN-NC) so far, nothing officially posted.

There are 9-1/2 weeks until 1st District/Regional Event Registration Opens at Noon on 24 Sept.

What are you even talking about? Venues and dates get announced when they get announced. That had nothing to do with what they were talking about.

My takeaways:
1. Logo feed back has been given to the company that made the logo, but in general the crappy logo is staying the crappy logo.
2. "Host Team" = sells concessions.
3. Most of this info could have been done in an email.
4. The teams in our district have no idea how districts work.
5. Pipe and drape.
