I think AZ North in Flagstaff deserves a mention as a new regional.

Seems to be some confusion between Iowa and Idaho...
Iowa Regional is March 23-26. Idaho Regional is March 30-April 2...

Googling for "More Than Ready" returns this as the first result: http://www.bloodhorse.com/stallion-r...ore-than-ready

I am unsure of how the 2016 game is related to racehorse breeding, but I am sure that it can't be coincidence.

I'm curious how that person will be chosen.

As we were fond of saying on my old team, there are no (interpersonal) problems that cannot be solved by either a cage match or hugging it out.

They're going to try and spawn more HoF teams and WFA mentors...

I think the ones mentioned in the blog are the first events to be scheduled in those states, while California already had a bunch, and AZ has one already as well.

I would imagine the impact on growth from a new regional in an area without easy access to one (ie a new state) would be huge. Of course, the impact for any new event can be huge, even if it's not the first event in the state!

Actually... The OC and AZ North regionals are "replacement" regionals. Orange County replaces Inland Empire; Arizona North replaces Arizona East.

Trust me, taking spots away from the CA/AZ/NV area--or threatening to--is a really great way to get a horde of annoyed CA/AZ/NV teams writing emails and taking other necessary action until they get a replacement event (or keep the threatened event). About like if someone were to suggest that, oh, I don't know, the Duluth Regional (but not the Lake Superior Regional--I'm not THAT mean!) were to disappear from your great state of Minnesota, perhaps.

But where would I go to watch week 1 action in person where there's only one team from my district?
