I do not believe that FIRST has or will hire a fourth Regional Director in Texas or have two in one city for that matter. I beleive the model for all of these double/split events is that they are really one big event with something akin to two divisions with two sets of teams qualifying for the World Championship event. It would be similar to if the Lone Star became a double event and had a field, pits, judging rooms in one hall of the George R. Brown and duplicate set in a second hall of the convention center. We'd have to give Lucia a set of roller skates and an iPHone 4 with facetime communication for all key volunteers

So it will be John S. and the entire Dallas FRC planning committee that runs and organizes those two events in Dallas. I am somewhat in the know but I am not part of the day to day so I can't tell you what the venue location will be or how this will play out at this time.
