2006 GTR - Super Regional

It looks like Toronto has got another Super Regional. With 2 fields there is non stop action. Are you planning on attending? If not why and if so the same question.

If you would like to come but believe that there might be obstacles, what are they? We may be able to help. We would love to see 75 teams and maybe more. What are your thoughts?

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional

Its on our list, but is our third choice for a second regional currently...

We had a great time last year, but with having to cross the border and all the extra shipping expenses, unfortunately staying in the states saves us money and the hassle of birth certificates...

But, If we dont go to a regional that weekend, I do plan on volunteering!!

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional

Teams 1114 & 1503 will most definitely be there! The two field super regional in 2004 was the best regional event I've ever attended. I'm looking forward to an even better show in 2006. I know that all the usual suspects will be in Toronto, hopefully some teams who've never made the trip before will take the Canadian plunge.

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional

Team 1006 will definitely be there! The '04 Super Regional was amazing-- having two fields means constant matches, and no field reset delay! I can't wait for the 2006 event.

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional

Team 48 has decided that Week 5 Regionals are against our religious beliefs and will be taking up ballroom dancing to pass the time until Atlanta. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional

You know.. way back in 2002 648 was seriously considering attending the Canadian Regional... but the engineers and elders thought it would be too much of a hassle to cross the border. Thus, 648 will not attend a regional outside of the US. And we are venturing out of the norm (StL and Chi) to attend the Western Michigan Regional. But we are getting a bit closer to Canada... so maybe it will happen sometime. But not this year.

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional

The TechnoKats (team 45) have just signed up for the Greater Toronto Regional and our status is "pending" until we pay our bill* with FIRST. Our entire team looks forward to making some Canadian friends.

Andy Baker

* - I believe this means our spot is reserved until the 2nd Regional payment deadline of Jan. 26th.

I wouldn't count on that deadline. Philly has 11 pending for 5 open slots. It may be first-paid, first-registered, but GTR isn't near full so that's not an issue yet.

Alright! We are in the same boat I guess - the pending status was unknown to me until after we registered for GTR today.

Although, if we didn't get in we could always take up those dance lessons that Travis is going to.... Sounds like a good way to improve our ballerina skills....

That's "ballroom dancing" lessons, sir. We leave the ballet lessons for you!

By the way, we had a religious epiphany, so I'm guessing we'll be registering in Toronto as well when open season on regionals begins. I really coulda used some dance lessons, though....

I have no doubt that both 45 and 65 will get into Toronto, and that Team 48 will see you there!

Re: 2006 GTR - Super Regional

I called FIRST this morning to find out exactly how that pending list works, and I was told that if you are on the pending list, you have a spot guaranteed until you pay or drop out of the event. I have no idea how this works with the events that have the number of registered + pending being greater than capacity...

Kevin
