At least that's what I've heard

Waterloo, Ontario, Canada is a definite.

I believe this regional will be held the weekend of Easter Sunday - March 24-26.

Don't worry, Karthik. I got your back!

Hey... let's give a new twist to this thread. Does anyone know of the "unofficial" dates to next year's regionals?



The Boilermaker Regional is March 17-18-19
Location: West Lafayette, Indiana

I recall reading somewhere on here that there was going to be a regional in Israel in the not-too-far-off future. Something like twelve rookie teams are getting started over there. (I get the sneaking suspicion that they'll be building a field over there. Shipping a field halfway around the world can't be that cost-effective for FIRST.)

Canadian, oops I mean Greater Toronto regional will be the week after Waterloo. I believe that Philly is the same weekend as Waterloo and also the LA regional the same weekend as Waterloo. Why would I know? I have been asked to work 2 of the regionals and our team is suppose to go to California all on the same weekend.

Remember that none of the above has been confirmed with me from FIRST.

Just out of curiosity, do regionals usually shift weeks from one season to the next?

If not, then it's pretty safe to put Palmetto in Week 5.

In 2003, the Pacific Northwest Regional (In Seattle, WA) was in the 2nd week of regionals.

In 2004, the Pacific Northwest Regional moved to Portland, OR, and was the 1st week of regionals. (It moved to Oregon, because there were more Oregon teams then Washington teams in 2003 and it didn't make a whole lot of sense making all of them drive up to Seattle. But in 2004, I think there were about the same number, because we started a whole bunch of new teams in WA

Dates change depending on 2 things. First is the arena availability and second is the field availability. FIRST has only so many fields and they must be shipped around. Because of this they try to balance out the number of regionals on any given weekend. There are also contracts for the venues. These contracts can be for one or multiple years.

I believe that FIRST announces the dates in September but I could be wrong. All of the ducks must be in order before they will announce.
