2016 MAR Events

[Owen Busler]

Thought we could start a discussion of the MAR schedule for next year.

Week 1 - March 4-6 - Hatboro-Horsham - Horsham PA
Week 1 - March 4-6 - Mt. Olive - Flanders, NJ
Week 3 - March 18-20 - Springside-Chestnut Hill - Philadelphia, PA
Week 3 - March 18-20 - Seneca - Tabernacle, NJ
Week 4 - Easter - No Events
Week 5 - April 1-3 - Westtown - West Chester, PA
Week 5 - April 1-3 - Bridgewater-Raritan - Bridgewater, NJ
Week 6 - April 8-10 - Montgomery - Skillman, NJ
Week 7 - April 13-16 - MAR Champs - Lehigh University - Bethlehem, PA

I assume Olive was pushed up a week because of the later kickoff. A week 2 event would have been nice but still a good range of events to choose from. No more Upper Darby or North Brunswick, but Im happy to see the addition of Montgomery though, thanks 1403, sure to be a good event. Im un-sure of what team is hosting Westtown though. Anyone know? What events are you thinking of going to?

[GKrotkov]

I believe team 1391 is from Westtown; don't know of any other teams from Westtown. It's not a certainty, but it makes me think that Moose is hosting the event

[Gdeaver]

Yes, the Metal Moose 1391 is hosting the event at the Westown School. 1640 Sabotage will be assisting.

There seem to be more NJ events and less PA events this year. Team 423 usually attends the SCH and Seneca events (and Upper Darby last year), but they are both the same week this year so we will have to find another event to attend. The Westtown event is probably the closest to us (besides Hatboro-Horsham but we usually don't like week 1 events)

It is the exact same number of PA events, there were 3 last year + district champs and 3 this year + district champs.

Although I have no idea what events my team is going to, I would love to go to Mt. Olive cause the quality of that event is fantastic. I know 1403 is going to do a great job with their event as well, so i'm looking forward to that. I'm also REALLY hyped and happy that there aren't any week 2 events cause that's when my senior Disney trip is . I also want to volunteer at Bridgewater since I can actually get there in under an hour, plus it seems like a good event to watch.

I've been to a couple Bridgewater events and they're always really well-ran and fun!

I'm going to be volunteering (ref most likely) at Mt. Olive!

Yes, can confirm 1391 The Metal Moose will be hosting their first event with help from 1640

I will be tracking MAR event registration on this spreadsheet and doing my best to keep it updated as teams register.

Thanks for this. Let me know if you need any help with it.

Decisions decisions. We normally volunteer at SCH or Seneca, but they are both the same week this year. Oh what to do....
