Zookie I might go! See ya there.

Given that CVR is smaller, you will likely have 1 or 2 more plays than SDR, though I don't remember offhand how many there were last year. Both events are well run, though seeing as San Diego was my home regional for many years, I may be a bit biased towards the crew there. Your pit-to-arena trip is longer in CVR due to how the facility is set up, much more like Inland Empire used to be (or OCR, if there was a longer path between pits and arena). San Diego is much more of the traditional regional layout, though with the open air venue (open sides, really). Level of competition is fairly comparable, though there is a higher likelihood of out-of-state teams showing up at San Diego than Madera.

We'll be seeing plenty of out-of-state teams... AT CHAMPS (south)!!!

You may have sealed the deal Megan. For which regional will have to remain a surprise.

Tom,

Both are great events, I've volunteered and competed at both.

CVR - Fewer teams so more plays. Further drive. Competitive teams. Fewer local hotels. Easier to register
SDR - More teams so less plays. Closer drive. Competitive teams. More local hotels (if you even need them). Harder to register

We have been going to cvr for a while now. It's a great competition, great venue, and overall a good competition.

We'd love to compete with y'all.

Bro, Zook - you know you wanna come party with us up at CVR this year. We'd love to have 4276 come play with the real powerhouses of FRC. Besides, you've yet to try out Player's BBQ, and that's something San Diego just can't offer.

This is, of course, only a temporary problem. Once California goes districts (LOLing at the fact I'm LOL) we'll never go too far north or south.
