Hardest Regional

[lenny8]

By looking at the list of teams for all the regionals, which one looks the most challenging to win?

[ttldomination]

Is there a current list? Like for all o' the teams who have signed up so far?

They're all equally challenging.

Actually, it depends on the teams there, which team you are, and the game. And, it changes year-to-year as teams change and change events. I would say that we can't predict before the events.

Oh, and team lists aren't final yet. Teams can still sign up for more events, and there are a lot of slots left.

There is a team list for each regional on the FIRST website.

well if you go by team list alone i have to say i cant wait to see who comes out the winners of Midwest

It's hard to tell as of now... There's some regionals in certain areas that are always hard because of the caliber of the teams that come from there but also any team can have a rough season or regional so we'll have to get a little more info before judging.

I wouldn't say they're all equally challenging. There are some, i noticed mainly midwest and florida where teams of a much more experience all sign up to compete against one another and fewer teams attending, as of now, are still in the development stages.

The answer the last 3 years would be any regional that 1114 attends.

FLR has always been a Challenging regional. There are many power house teams like the X-Cats, MOE (who will not be attending this year) Spark-x (I'm sorry if i miss spelled it), both G.R.R.s, The Rocketeers, and many others. But it changes from year to year what teams are the power houses. It's interesting cause you have an equal mix of teams with major cooperation sponsors and teams that dont get the as much funding. But with the slumping economy things might be more equal funding wise.

I have noticed that many (if not all) regionals are like FLR. It's just the only one I have gone to.

FLR has a very Canadian flaour this year with 10 teams attending, a couple from Conneicut and an Indiana team. So it'll be very interesting this year.
It's too early to tell but I'd put my bet on the Michigan Championship.
That'll be a killer event with 70 Michigan teams whaling on each other all weekend.

The Michigan State Championship will be quite competitive as it will be the first event calling for qualification. It will also be an end of season event which are always more competitive. Lastly teams will have 2 events under their belts.

I will second Cory's response though that wherever 1114 is, it will be tough to win.

For everybody else....

[sovierr]

I would say that the hardest regionals to win will be the first week ones. I say this because the teams will need to keep their sanity through all the field issues and control problems with the new systems.

[ttldomination]

Agreed with sovierr. Week 1 teams are hitting the ground hard and have little idea of what to expect in competition. Teams after have watched match clips and nailed down strategies that work and don't work. .
