As of the new branding rules, all regions must refer to themselves as "FIRST [Place]" to keep things consistent, which means the days of calling it MAR on the public-facing side are coming to an end. I've been trying to be diligent about it, but it's probably going to go over as smoothly as the transition from Nationals to Championship...
That's exactly what happened. The banners, trophies, FMS, etc. will all say MAR District.

The legal name for the organization remains "Mid-Atlantic Robotics". The board approved a D.B.A. (does business as) to reflect FIRST's branding request. Personally I still use the "MAR" acronym on all board and committee documents. I don't see it as an issue to continue using "MAR" though once the IT committee establishes the official branding standards next summer, we'll all know.

Good Luck to all teams at the Mt Olive District!

It will be interesting to see how Mt. Olive compares to Palmetto. Hopefully we see some higher-scoring games. Maybe even a multi-ball autonomous.

Are you alluding that 1403 has a two ball auto?

I wish it were so. No, I'm just curious about how long it will take to start seeing teams with multi-ball autos.

It'd be hard to legally do, since you can't break the plane of the midline during auto. But anything is possible....
