New York City Regional Location and Week Change

[Sperkowsky]

Personally I am a big fan of the venue switch and a fan of them downsizing a little bit. We really do not know how many teams they will let in and will not know until we get closer to sign ups. With 66 teams a little more then 1/3 of teams make playoffs. 42 teams ending their regional and most of their seasons with only 8 matches is a bit ridiculous.

The big thing I am not a fan of is the week. With long island being week 5 it means we could be stuck with 2 back to back late regionals. It is not the worst thing in the world, but it means if we make champs we have very little time to raise the funds needed.

For that reason I hope that HVR is earlier in the season (Week 1-4) and if it is, it will become our second regional. That is... if we can get in to it.

We are also talking about going up to Tech Valley, but it would be quite expensive for us so we are hoping HVR works out.
