[FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN

[Trying to Help]

Still, still waiting on New England Districts. I spoke with FIRST last week and was told that they are still waiting on contracts being signed but that the details would be up by the middle of September.

New count is 63, up from 54... additions are:

Arkansas Rock City - 08 Mar
Seven Rivers - 12 Apr

+ 6 Chesapeake District Events
+ Chesapeake District Championship - 5 Apr

---

Edit: Also interesting to note we've about hit 1/2 of the total event count from last year.

A Week 7 regional, that's unusual. There hasn't been one of those since Chesapeake in 2013.

Kudos to the La Crosse folks for this new event! Should be very nice for everyone in the area looking for spots. Even though Week 7 is very close to Champs, at least it helps prevent a collision with another event nearby.

Another Wisconsin regional, huh? Nice to hear that teams up there now have another choice!

I grew up in La Crosse, WI where seven rivers is being held.

I think the out of towners will be surprised what a nice city it is. The scenery is actually one of kind with it being in the driftless area and the Mississippi river right behind the venue. It is certainly not the big city, but that is what makes it great.

Thanks for the feedback on the Seven Rivers Regional.


We knew Week 7 would be tricky (even more so next year as that is Easter)

There is actually a separate thread already for the regional - and I didn't start it. Thanks Alex!

Yes, yes it is. Stepping stones towards something more.

This sounds like code for something else but we'll keep it as it so as to not trigger anyone. CD is a minefield lately.

Oh, did you mean

DISTRICTS IN WISCONSIN

?

I haven't run into many people in the state who are against the idea, but I have met some who are working hard to make it a reality.


La Crosse already has great team growth- 7 teams have popped up in and around it over the past 5 years. A Regional there will be great for team and volunteer growth in western WI and will make hosting a District Event so much easier for them in, hopefully, 2018.

I was pretty excited about potentially going to Seven Rivers, but seeing as it's Easter weekend, during our schools' spring breaks, and Week 7, 1732 unfortunately probably won't be going.

I am not 100% sure if Wave will be going either, but I will try to volunteer and bring others with me if possible.

I know my team won't be going (back-to-back with North Star is pretty much a non-starter, assuming North Star is week 6), But I look forward to heading over there for the day on Saturday and enjoying my first ever event as a spectator!

Sorry if this was addressed somewhere in the previous 8 pages. But I am getting no results found on the firstinspires (new) site. I have tried various searches on that page with the same non-result. Am I looking on the wrong page? Site doesn't like my browser? (current version of FF). Doesn't like me?

I've been using this.

That page works for me. Selected Event at the top, selected the 2016-2017 season, verified the date range was correct (I've seen the date range fail to update before, so I was searching for 2017 events with a date range that only covered the 2016 season - nothing was returned), selected FRC only, selected country and State... at each of these selections the returned results changed.

Edit: I did this in Firefox 46.0.1, then updated to the most recent, 47.0.1 and did it again. Also did it in Chrome 52.
