2017 - New England District Event Schedule

[Chris is me]

I'm sure this was the best that could be done with date and scheduling conflicts everywhere, and that lots of people worked hard to get us this, but like a lot of regions in the country this year, this isn't quite ideal. Every event in MA is within the span of two consecutive weeks. The two week 3 MA events are 20 minutes apart. NE Champs is week 6. Most teams iin the region this year will end up competing back to back in one way or another.

I'm also a little anxious about DCMP. The location isn't very central to the region, and I'm a bit worried about finding close hotel space. I've also heard some difficulties with UNH in the past - e.g. in 2015 they infamously didn't allow drilling or filing metal in the pits. I'm sure that particular issue is solved for this event, but it does raise some concerns.

Regardless, lots of great venues this year, and there seem to be multiple events local to almost anyone in NE, so that's good.
