2016 Queen City Regional (QCR)

[Jimmy Nichols]

Welcome! I will start posting info as it becomes available.

Our event is the weekend after Easter this year, March 31 - April 2.

If you are thinking about joining us in the Queen City and have questions, please post and I will do my best to answer them for you.

Thanks!

Team 1708 is looking forward to this (hopefully) being our second regional this year! If any questions I will be sure to post them.

[Jimmy Nichols]

Awesome! I'm expecting a lot more teams once the 2nd event registration starts next week.

This year QCR will NOT be participating in the Experient System. We are working with the Butler County Visitor's Bureau who has reserved several hotels for us. Once we have the information and are closer to having a complete list of teams I will be sending out the information for teams to begin booking rooms.

I lost track and am not sure when they registered, but we have our first Japanese team coming to the Queen City Regional!

[Jimmy Nichols]

RD has given FIRST the OK to clear the waitlist for QCR which will leave us with 4 open spots. So if you are on the waitlist, you should be getting in soon.

Just sent this to the teams:

As we are busy preparing for the holidays and the ever quickly approaching Kick-off, I wanted to send you a quick note letting you know that we are NOT using Experient this year for our Hotels. We used a local organization to plan and reserve the blocks.

Here is the List.

For those who can't use the link (http://www.queencityfirst.org/images...ist%202016.pdf)

The Rooms are available now through 1 month prior to the event. (~February 29th). After that Date all unused rooms will be released.

I emailed the event handbook out to all the teams. If anyone attending did not get it. Please let me know.

We didn't get it.

Nice to see you all joining the fun again, Travis! If Jimmy doesn't get it to you, I'll forward a copy.

Team 4256, the Cyborg Cats, look forward to competing. After a disappointing finish in St. Louis in week 2, we have practiced a lot, and we feel we are prepared!

He just signed up so did 1014. I will be sending another email today with more information and it includes the link to the handbook again.

I had to add 48 and 1014 to my distribution.

Sorry about your performance. Same thing happened to us in Central IL

We think we have identified the issues, are making adjustments and hope to be ready for a tough event.

I know this is last minute, but if any team would like to scout with us (team 4256) both Friday and Saturday, please PM me and we can work it out. Thanks so much!!! Good luck, it's shaping up to be a stacked competition.

Big thanks to the regional committee and the volunteers that are allowing us to set up pits at load in! We are excited to be able to immediately get to work on the machine Thursday morning.

Looking forward to an always excellent event and what looks to be some very stiff competition
