I can, however, see some of the Ontario teams who traditionally play three regionals or do a travel regional coming to FLR for another play. |

EDIT - On a side note, it looks like CALU is on spring break the same week as RIT and RPI. Last year, the Greater Pittsburgh Regional was held at the end of CALU's spring break, which makes it a possibility that Greater Pittsburgh Regional will end up on the same week as FLR and Tech Valley.

I also think HVR will be the harder to get into event, because who is going to TVR now? No Rochester teams will be there, no NYC teams will go. I think TVR is going to be light on teams this year (meaning maybe we'll get a bunch of districts teams!), and FLR will lack the capital region teams, including at least 3 of their best 4 high goal shooters from 2016 (20, 2791, 3044). 5254 is undecided as to which events we'd attend, so I can't say yet. |

It worked for 910 when they qualified for the championships by winning Great Lakes Windsor-Essex with 2056 which was a good thing because they didn't qualify for MSC.

Presumably the Lake Monsters (2635) will be putting on the new event. They're from the right school district even though they meet at their district's other high school. Congratulations to them and I'm sure they'll do a good job of it. I wonder if we'll see some major reshuffling of home event assignments. Most of teams previously assigned to Philomath would now be closest to Wilsonville. And most of the teams that were assigned to either Clackamas Academy of Industrial Science ("Oregon City") or Wilsonville will now be closest to Lake Oswego. |

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
Perhaps. FIRST Canada has made sure there will be ample space in Ontario for teams to get 3rd plays, so many teams may forgo playing at a regional in order to save on registration fees ($1200 CAD for a 3rd district vs ~$5200 CAD for a regional) and travel costs. However as stated by Ed and others, there still might be some Ontario teams looking to attend a regional for the direct qualification option. Also, don't be surprised to see an uptick in registration from Quebec teams who can no longer go to Ontario for their second play.

The 5 new york regionals
Long Island - almost impossible to get into if your not a long Island team. NYC - not nearly as difficult to get into but could see a lower slot count with the new venue FLR - the same week as tvr going to be hard to fill TVR - the same week as flr going to probably fill up but not nearly as fast as usual Hvr - not even officially confirmed regional that looks like it will give long Island a run for it's money in terms of how fast can a regional fill. Hmm.... This looks like kind of a mess. |

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN
At an SBPLI meeting the other night (I did not even know it was going on but my mentor attended) SBPLI (The organization that runs FIRST on long island) said that they are "going to hold on to the regional model for as long as they can to maximize the number of teams they can send to World's, with the two regionals." What they are talking about with the two regionals is the possibility of a second Long Island regional is 2018.
The part that really alarms me is the maximize the numbers of teams to worlds... Is that a joke? It seems to me like they are not even aware of the benefit that the district system provides. I reached out to the RD of long island to verify stuff but I would not be surprised if its accurate. It should also be mentioned SBPLI has spoken about not having enough money before yet wants to host a second regional after presumably losing a large sponsor (Cablevision) as the company was absorbed into a larger French telecom. So now I hear in 2018 NY is going to try to have 6 regionals... ugh... Hey MAR or NE want some long island friends? We bring good bagels. |

And this begs the question... What can we do? Well. Without the regional directors even wanting districts not much. We can make a document like yours which is definitely a step in the right direction but convincing RD's is likely not too easy especially when they are already panning regionals for 2018. |
