Re: FRC kick-off 2010 season dates
The only reason I'm a little happy is because a little birdy told me NJ may not be week one anymore
![]() This = More outside teams having a chance to compete, more practice time with extra base/at other regionals |

Re: FRC kick-off 2010 season dates
I like having Jersey as a Week 1 regional. I thought it was fun at that point in time. Besides, if Jersey isn't Week 1, then some other Regional will be, which would be unfair to those who are used to their Regional being at a later time.

Re: FRC kick-off 2010 season dates
Does anyone know how many weeks of regionals there will be? If we combine the information from Mark and the OP it seems there would only be five weeks of regionals, or there is no buffer week between week six and championships.

Re: FRC kick-off 2010 season dates
I don't know that I would call it "unfair." This year our team competed at the DC Regional (which is a week one). Normally we compete at Philly (week 5 or 6). It is just a different experience, not good or bad, just different.

Re: FRC kick-off 2010 season dates
There's no fairness/unfairness in regional times. Simple as that. Up your advantage by watching other matches being played at other regionals.

I'm not saying it's fair or unfair; your original post made it seem as though competing in a Week 1 tournament was unfair to you. That's what I was commenting on. |

Midwest is my favorite regional destination, followed closely by Colorado (that was a whole lot of fun), and that has been week 1 for atleast the past couple years. I feel that week 1 regionals are some of the most exciting to play in because absolutely everyone is learning strategies that work on the field and not on the whiteboard and vice versa. Especially when you have some of the biggest names in attendance. |

Re: FRC kick-off 2010 season dates
Correct me if I am off but NJ was the last week of Regionals in 2003. This was at Rutgers April 3-5. The Championship was in Houston the next week April 10-12.
No buffer between Regionals and the Championship. I remember this as we won an Engineering Award on Friday night which qualified us for the Championship. We had plane tickets by Saturday noon and the school van and tools left Monday morning, in the snow, for Houston. |

Re: FRC kick-off 2010 season dates
Week six this past year was the two Minnesota events plus the Michigan Championship event. There was still a buffer week between those and championship so will there be a buffer next year? Not too certian that it is relevant to my needs as I am looking to schedule FTC between FRC build and possible regional event dates for Texas teams as I draw volunteers from FRC.
Definately a consideration for Michigan teams and week six regional events if there is six weeks next year or will things get compressed into five. Just need more fields and crew to get them in but then we are talking about only 3 events dispursed into the existing five weeks of regional events. |

Re: FRC kick-off 2010 season dates
I am pretty certain that Minnesota will be 3/31/10 - 4/3/10. However, I do not know what week number that will be.

Re: FRC kick-off 2010 season dates
Build is not being shortened.
Kickoff will be Jan. 9th Ship will be Feb. 23rd. Why? Because the first Saturday (the traditional date) is Jan. 2nd which would be too close to New Years day. Thus, everything is being shifted back a week. |
