The season button doesn't drop down to anything. It lets you select the 2017 season on yours?

Edit: KokoEd's site -the old one does work for me.

Edit: Firstinspires site works on my phone. Maybe my companies firewall doesn't like the site and blocks snippets of it.

And NYC, week 6 in a new venue. Still nothing on the mystery new NY regional.

Wow week 6 that's a big change from it being week 2 last year. Now this is making me worried whether it will fall on the same week as long Island.

The new venue looks great and has a ton of food around it. No longer is every team limited to the hot dog stand.

Hope NYC is ready for the likely flood from upstate teams.

I would not be surprised if many upstate teams doing two regionals came to NYC with the FLR, TVR, and Pitt conundrum. With lots of time between week 3 events and NYC, and being relatively close to upstate there could be a lot of competition between NYC teams, international teams, and upstate teams to get a spot at NYC. Then again there will likely be lots of competition with upstate teams at all the regionals relatively close to upstate (Quebec, NYC, Long Island, mythical new regional) depending on dates.

The Armory is an amazing venue, I have had many track meets there. My question is if memory serves, can they actually fit a lot of teams in there.

Considering Hofstras Spring Break is Mar 19-25th, wouldn't this all but confirm LI is a Week 4 event this year?

No, the SBPLI event isn't related to the Hofstra break.
It's planned for week 5, as announced at the team leader meeting in June, but isn't official yet.

Well, Ventura is March 15-18.
Still no official Los Angeles or Orange County.

FIM events are all the same as last year, except there is neither LSSU/Sault Ste. Marie or Standish-Sterling so far. As a UP team, not knowing about northern events is a small worry.

Well on the bright side for regional teams, MAR teams now have to choose between attending the MAR DCMP or the NYC Regional.

I've heard some rumors on L.A., and some digging knowing a little bit about the possible location would, at a best guess, put L.A. two weeks later than Ventura as the best time for the rumored venue. (One of the rumors indicated that it's waiting on FIRST approval/posting.)

But, rumors being rumors and all, I'm more inclined to wait until announced.
