Why would someone do that - just go on the internet and tell lies?

But seriously though, there are a LOT of dates that changed. Lakeview, Livonia, Woodhaven, Waterford, and Center Line, just to name the ones I recognized.

It's planned for week 5, as announced at the team leader meeting in June, but isn't official yet.

I guess my assumption was completely off base. Thanks for the clarification.

Alamo has posted in week 6.

I meant the events had the same name (and probably same town and venue?). I did not mean to imply they were all the same week that they were last year. It would be a "lie" to say that St. Joe and Niles were the same event.

+ Ventura Regional Mar 15
+ Alamo Regional Apr 5
+ NYC Regional Apr 6
+ CHS District - Central VA Event Mar 24

All NC district events have been announced as well, but it looks like they haven't made their way to the FIRST site yet. Total count should be 92 + 5.

The FIM DCMP (MSC) is no longer listed.

I like the new venue as well, never been there though. The reason is that it's a straight subway shot from my apartment .

Applied to be a ref again now that it's posted.

No one in New York drives, there is too much traffic.

Any Ideas on when IN events are being announced? Last year, IN did it before the mentor meetings and it was on August 31st when they made a blog about the events. This year, the mentor meetings were yesterday, 2 days ago, and 3 days ago. So it isn't really following the same pattern.

Thanks! Just curious about the events. It's the start of the excitement that builds up to build season.

I parked at the event on Sunday when the trains weren't running from Jersey.

Do you take NJ Transit or PATH?

NJ Transit runs on Sunday. I'm not sure about PATH, but NJ Transit runs on the same schedule on Saturdays and Sundays.

Actually that was DC I was thinking about back in 2009 because they were doing repairs to the tracks. I brought the car in to Javitts because we were leaving for home after the event.

Last I heard, they planned on releasing today. Be patient. Registration doesn't open any earlier.
