2008 Finger Lakes Regional

[Mr MOE]

MOE 365 has grabbed one of the last slots for FLR! We had a great time last year and expect the same again in 2008. Looking forward to seeing and playing with y'all.

[Caseavong]

Now that makes my day....
I can't for the competition to start

Last year they said there were spots for 40+ teams.
FIRST always seems to expand the capacity of the regionals a little later so don't give up yet if you don't get in.

Now added is the HOT team, 67. I can't belive how many great teams are going to be at FLR this year. What a great year this is going to be, I hope the game allows for some great competition!

Yes!

65, 67, 68, 365, 20, 1503 are making the trip and make me very excited!

[Dylan Gramlich]

This is very quickly shaping up to be a very competitive regional! i am excited especially since this will be my senior year and what a good bunch of teams to compete with! I look forward to seeing some of my friends from out of state!

[Mike Starke]

I am very much looking forward to this regional! This will be my first year/regional as a mentor. This will be a great regional for all those drive teams out there, im kinda sad ill be missing out on that part of the excitement!


67/340/1126 Repeat?

A lot of teams are wait listed. Look at the teams that competed last year that aren't on the list.

5 Rochester teams, boo if they dont make it in.
im sure they will be making room for the locals to make it.


I heard form a little birdie, the reason from the MI teams is that they don't want to do back to back regionals and FLR is closest for week 2. it's still a sweet thing, im looking forward to it.

How are you able to see the list?
And why won't FIRST let us see it anymore?
What's the big secret?

Magic...

Actually
The list is in my head...

Well actually I have kept track of every team that has ever attended the FLR. I looked at that list and guestimated. I can't say for certain if there are any teams on the wait list. If I remember there was a pending number of 6 or 7 and 1 open spot on Sunday. HOT joined us and that leaves a number of wait list teams.

I now see that there are 34 teams registered the, 2 new ones are:
1405 Hoselton/OCM Technical Services, Inc./Crosby-Brownlie, Inc. & The Charles Finney High School
1585 Discount Tent Renter & Red Jacket High School

If FIRST sticks to their norm they hold a number of spots for late registering rookies. I know we were working on getting the Syracuse area to recruit new teams & there have been no rookies to register yet, I don't know if there will be. Of course we know better than to hold FIRST to their "norm".

If there is an area that could use expansion, it's Syracuse.

As far as I know Fairport HS/Minerva HS (578) will be there. They like to register for their travel regional first and then the local one.

[Koko Ed]

On November 8th there will be unrestricted registration for additional regionals and I bet you'll see the regionals suddenly expand their capacity. And all those teams that could not get in before should be able to get in then.
