Like Abe said, the former Orlando offseasons only brought in central florida teams anyhow. Since Mr. Burke and Arefin to all of the planning and venue-finding for the mayhem event, it ends up being in South Florida due to their location. Mayhem started up again as a seperate offseason from the Robot Rodeo (which unfortunatly did not occur last year, and idk what is up with this year). I don't think that a Central Florida offseason is out've the question for future years, but I know that with the success of Mayhem from last year that continuing to strengthen that offseason can still bring people to a fun vacation spot as well as help to secure a permanent offseason event that maybe one day will become as big as something such as IRI. Of course, this is just me talking, but I know that with the great success last year even with all of nature's fury, the competition showed excellent potential and to not continue pursuit there would be foolish since members of the community down there seem to be very supportive of this event.
