Which Regionals/Districts?

After reading through "2013 Predicted Events Calendar" I was thinking about what regional's Teams where thinking about going to.

So, what regional's are some teams going to, or even considering going to. I know the Regional List isn't out yet, but I'm sure some teams have an idea of where they want to go.

772:
Going to Smoky Mountains Regional (we want to try getting Back2Back Regional wins, Going undefeated there in 2012 wasn't good enough )
Going to Either GTR West, GTR East, or Waterloo. (least likely is waterloo)
Want to go to either two of the above or go to Buckeye. (leaning towards Buckeye)

Re: Which Regionals/Districts?

1058 annually goes to the Granite State Regional in Manchester, NH. We are also planning on going to a second regional, such as Boston, Hartford, or WPI. We went to GSR and Boston this season and both were fantastic events.

Orlando or South Florida would love to have some of our brothers from Canadia come down to visit. And I bet your students would love to get out of the cold weather and into the warm weather of The Sunshine State.

Re: Which Regionals/Districts?

Robolions 3397 are going to go to St. Louis Regional, and if the funds permit, Kansas City (but probably not).

Re: Which Regionals/Districts?

1405 will be hitting up the Finger Lakes regional, as usual.

Funding, unfortunately, does not permit a second regional.

But if Finger Lakes is the regional we're going to, I'm not heart broken about. I have enough fun there to cover me for weeks to come.

Aaron:

Finger Lakes is also quite popular amongst Canadian teams (with the likes of 2056, 188 and 610 having joined us in the past). If we're fortunate to not have it fall on the same weekend as one of the Canadian regionals again, you guys should consider coming down. Karthik has even graced us with his godly announcing skills in the past.

If not, Buckeye is also a great regional. Having gone twice, I can say you'll have a lot of fun with the teams there.

Re: Which Regionals/Districts?

We always go to the Bayou - its our home.
I'd love to go another regional and we are seriously looking towards Texas. Personally, Im favoring a visit to Alamo, but we will see what happens.

Re: Which Regionals/Districts?

This year 842 is really trying to gun it this year. Provided we raise enough money we want to go to 3 regionals. Right now we are thinking week 1 Alamo, Week 4 Arizona, and Week 6 Central Valley provided the regionals are the same weeks as last year and they are probably not.

Re: Which Regionals/Districts?

Palmetto is a given for us. With that regional moving to Week 1, it more or less blows the door open for our second event (in the past, we always wanted something before Palmetto).

Traditionally, we only do Championship if we get in the hard way.

Re: Which Regionals/Districts?

Just Wisconsin.

I'm sure we have the money for another regional somewhere, but it's being used for our other programs.

Since KC & STL are both week 3 regionals(very unfortunate for Mo. teams), Team 1208 will be attending the St. Louis regional and the Crossroads regional (Terre Haute, In), a week 6 regional.

Re: Which Regionals/Districts?

These are possible regional's for 772

Week 1:
-Finger Lakes regional (6:00 Hours) - Possible but less likely

Week 2:
-Greater Toronto East (4:56 Hours) - Most likely will go to GTR East

Week 3: HIGHLY doubt we will be going to any this week because we dont like to go on regionals during march break.
-Boilermaker (5:42 Hours)
- Montreal (10:25 Hours)- HIGHLY X2 Unlikely

Week 4:
-Queen City (4:41 Hours)
-Waterloo (3:38 Hours) - We don't always like going to Waterloo, but it is likely we will be going this year. Even if my team doesn't I may make the trip up.

Week 5:
- Buckeye (3:14 Hours) - Haven't been here since 2007, but it's the closest regional to us
- Greater Toronto West (4:12 Hours) - we've never missed a regional at the Hershey center, will this be our first? :/
- Smoky Mountains (8:46 Hours) - Won the regional last year, loved the event, we want to come back to try and win again, but we have some decisions to make.

Week 6: Probably wont be going to any of these, but they're still possibilities
- Midwest (5:04 Hours) - EXTREMELY competitive last year, but still would be a great regional to go to
- Crossroads (6:38 Hours) - 234 is just awesome and we'd love to visit you guys

Right now I think we will be going to GTR East, Waterloo, and Smoky Mountains, but I can't confirm anything
