2010 Regional Dates

[Mark McLeod]

It's the missing Regionals , such as Brazil, I find interesting...
Looks like we lost the same number of events as we gained.
P.S. Nope, I miscounted. FRC gained two events.

Also the Kiwi (New Zealand) Regional was going to start this year, right?

Is the Tar Heel (North Carolina) Regional the only new one, or am I missing another?

Utah.

Also interesting, Sacramento listed as a 2-day event.

From what I know, the University of Minnesota has those dates locked in for Williams Arena and Mariucci Arena (the same venues as last year)

Sounds like a new, lower cost event, or they've petitioned to join the Michigan district system.

Just to be safe take January to April off. That is, if they will let you.

I only get five weeks of vacation time and I have to save at least one day for IRI.

I can't even remember now where I heard this.. But in the summer I read or heard that that there would not be a Brazilian Regional in 2010. No idea if this is temporary or what the reasoning might be.

[Chris is me]

Wisconsin being immediately before Midwest is going to suck for the Wisconsin teams that go to Midwest (1675, 1732, 1652, among many others I've forgotten). I hope 1625's still coming to Wisconsin this year despite the gap, gotta defend their title after all. (insert second subtle hope that 111 comes back to WI here)

I'll be back in town for Wisconsin, gotta figure out if I can save up and fly back for 10,000 Lakes

[Aren_Hill]

If that list is right 1625 is probably gonna be at a brand new event for us, as wisconsin is back to back with midwest and st louis, and colorado is the next week. Midwest is the highest priority one we want to go too, so hmmmm....oh look san diego is week one!


"defending our title's" is less important when you win 2 in a year and they then put those 2 back to back

[IndySam]

Wow Boilermaker, Midwest and St Louis all the same weekend. That sucks.

[Phil Ross]

Looks like now I can narrow down my choices of events for this year...can't wait!
