POLL: Date for new MI Repeat Contest BEFORE September

[kmcclary]

Greetings!

We are in the process of setting up a NEW Repeat style off season contest in SE MI (Michigan).
What we want to know is when to hold it, for maximum interest.

Instead of waiting for the fall like most other Repeats, we have been STRONGLY leaning toward having it BEFORE the school year is over (say May or June), or early summer right after school gets out.

Reasoning:

1) This may be attractive for those teams still itching for another place to play while their robot is still "in its prime", debugged, the team still together and raring for more, and don't care to wait until the fall;

2) This gives a cost effective additional contest after the Regionals for those teams that simply can't afford to travel across the nation to the National Finals; and

3) We avoid scheduling conflicts with the other fall repeats in the area.

So... Is there interest for a MI area Repeat contest BEFORE September? If so, please answer the attached poll as to your preference for when we should hold it.

Thanks!
