Overall I'm pretty disappointed in the slow turn-around of information. I understand that there are only so many bodies at FIRST but its not like they didn't have months to get these details set in stone. Lead time is important if teams are going to make sound travel plans and not pay dearly to travel to distant regionals.

I'm stumped at this one too. Checking out the UCD ARC Pavillion reservation system shows it is booked from Tuesday 3/30 thru Friday 4/2. Which would support this midweek regional idea. Perhaps this is an attempt to avoid Easter Sunday travel? The sad thing for us, is we get the week after Easter off, not the week before. So for us to attend this regional which is just minutes away, I need to pull students out from school for a couple of days before their Spring Break. Strange.....
