2013 Predicted Events Calendar

Assuming these dates hold up I see a lot of negotiating with our building administration over field trip dates, especially considering Champs is the week before AP exams if we qualify.

I have seen the discussion about AP exams and whether the FIRST Championship affects the students' preparation. I believe that if the student knows the material from studying throughout the year he or she should be able to do fine on the tests. You should read this thread. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...champions hip

I was told last year that the Midwest Regional is always held during UIC's spring break (no one else uses the Pavilion that week). According to the UIC Calendar, their Spring Break is March 25-29. I assume this puts the Midwest Regional during Week 5 (March 28-30).

If what I read here is correct, that puts us a week after the Wisconsin Regional which will be better than last year when they were the same weekend. I missed the Wisconsin Regional this year (not that I minded replacing it with the South Florida Regional... first a first year regional they did a GREAT job!)

Please be careful with speculation about dates and locations. Nothing is confirmed until officially announced by FIRST.

If you make plans for your team before FIRST publishes dates, you may end up having to make changes to those plans. It has happened before.

If you go to www.firstchampionshiphousing.com and click on "Regionals" and then select "FRC" from the list, it will show you the list of 2013 regionals whose dates and locations have been confirmed. If you click on a regional it'll tell you the dates and venue. There's a handful that have already been confirmed. I heard that all the MAR events have been confirmed but there's no district events listed as of yet.

Looks like Queen City (housing website) and Wisconsin (venue website) are both on Week 4. That will be an interesting decision for us.

WOW cheaspeake listed 4/10/13 to 4/13/13 which is a week 7 event bet their will be new teams that show up since its so late and so close to championship

If NCR really gets bumped to week three I'll be so disappointed. I loved the simplicity of the Dorton Arena, the atmosphere, and the variety of teams. 422 can't turn down a regional two blocks from our school in VA, so I can see my old team putting the feelers out for a Week 5 or 6 regional within a few hours of home.

New York City is a Thursday to Saturday this year! Was it that way last year? Our last visit was Friday to Sunday.

Last year it was Friday to Sunday. We were there the 16th - 18th.

I wish the South Florida people could have gotten SFR to week 4 or week 6 because then Florida teams could possible throw in an OOS competition along with the 2 in-state ones.

The NYC dates conflict between Frank's post and the FIRST schedule on What's Going On.
I suspect Frank's is correct.

March 8,9,10
Friday/Saturday/Sunday
