Pit Size

NJ is usually 10x10, and if you're lucky enough to be in the outer ring (You won't be though, if 1228 is your number), or on the end of one of the rows, you usually wind up with some extra space.

Keep in mind that teams are not allowed to exceed their pit space

Indeed, but at NJ the outer ring has these little 'wedges' of extra space between most of them, and all that "shelf" space in the folded-in bleachers on the back wall - a small advantage, but not enough to make a difference in competition (just some creature comforts).

The pits at NYC certainly don't feel 10x10x10. The pit area is so open and airy that they feel clsoe to 15x15x15. The aisles are also very wide, so traffic can flow without much interuption.

We were told Philly is 9x9x10, all other places we have been were 10x10x10 when we were there (FLR, Boston, Toronto, Atlanta, Buckeye). If you have a structure, check with the regionals you are attending to see what size the pits are, we didnt think about it and now have to modify our structure to be smaller.

We did measurements at Buckeye. It's 10x10x10 there, and if you were in the lucky end-row, you got wallspace up near the bleachers, which I believe Delphi E.L.I.T.E. used for a very nice info display. I'm sure each regional have a row or spots that are a bit "special" than others.
