That being said please don't treat the open capacity as an accurate reflection of the total capacity for either the NYC regional or HVR and please stop bad mouthing an organization who is doing everything within their control to give teams an opportunity for more plays

Well for 1 its a totally different venue. NYC First had a lot of flexibility with the inordinate amount of space they had at Javits. The armory is significantly smaller so I am guessing they have less room to grow the regional.

And unless I am missing something I have not read anything bad about NYC First. The real problems came from the RPC's up north but I am sure there were reasons both FLR and TVR were on the same week so I am not going to jump to conclusions and act like they just blatantly messed up.

SBPLI from what I hear is working on a second regional on the island for 2018. That will help alleviate overcrowding and if FLR and TVR are on different weeks 2018 will run a lot smoother. Although despite it probably not affecting me fingers crossed NY goes districts for 2018.
