2016 regional dates?

[Bruce Newendorp]

The Iowa Regional will be in the UNI Dome and McLeod Center on the University of Northern Iowa campus in Cedar Falls. This venue will work very well for a FRC regional. Looking forward to seeing lots of teams at the new event!

Has anybody heard anything at all (unofficially and with caveats) about SD or IE or Ventura dates?

IE is not happening in Palm Springs anymore. I believe last year is the last, from what we heard....

I emailed Paul Schoch, who is the RD for NYTVR, and he said they sent a letter of commitment to FIRST for week 3 (mar 17-19) but it is still tentative.

I've heard the same thing--IE not happening--from multiple sources.



OTOH, there are rumors circulating that there will be a replacement. Rumors being rumors, I don't know how true that will be (but if you want to make a bunch of CA teams very annoyed, the best way is to take away 40 spots and not put 50 back).

Anyone hearing anything about Dallas Regional and Hub City Regional (Lubbock, TX)?

Thanks!

Or the possibility of the new regional in Alabama. I know there was so talk about that last year.

There is definitely a new regional in Huntsville, AL this year. It will be called the Rocket City Regional

The dates for SD and Ventura are still up in the air, but likely to be week 5 or 6 (not sure which is which).

Inland Empire will not be returning. A replacement is in the works and should be announced soon.

It was rumored that the Rocket City Regional was going to take place in week 4. I haven't seen an official announcement yet, but this is the date Georgia FIRST gave me.

The Midwest Regional was just posted for Week 5.
I guess we won't see many Wisconsin teams now that Wisconsin and Midwest are back to back weeks.

I second this request.

[nuclearnerd]

Registration opens in just a few weeks, and we don't have dates for many, including (for our interest):

NYC
Montreal
Queen City

How late have events been posted in previous years? I'm trying to schedule meetings with our planning committee accordingly.
