Re: Best Regional in the East

Is there anyone in FIRST who has attended every one of these regionals? Otherwise how can anyone attest to making an actual informed opinion when there is so much unknown?

My viewpoint comes from attending Granite State Regional, NJ, Philly, Pittsburgh, Finger Lakes, Detroit, Waterloo, GTR, West Michigan and Buckeye. No I haven't seen them all yet but I am trying.

It's the same weekend as Detroit. However if I don't get asked there is a chance that I might make the trip.

My team has been to NJ, Philly, UTC, Florida, Long Island, and Granite State. I have had a lot of contact with teams that said good things about Boston, Chesapeake and Finger Lakes. This year we are going to tryout Toronto to see what all the shouting is about...out West

I'll let you guess my vote

Ed, you've identified one skew for the events. Here's a few more:

1) the age of the Regional (the younger Finger Lakes scores quite well against grandfather New Jersey -- give it a few more years)

2) the number of different teams who have attended the specific regional over the years (VCU is a large regional, Pittsburgh is smaller, so even if they were equal in age, VCU should receive more raw votes just due to the fact that more teams would pass through)

As Ed says, "Best" is a poor descriptor for this judgement. "Favorite" would be a better one.

My favorite is always "The Next One!"
