[Macdaddy549]

Can teams please post the 2007 offseason events here?


[from Brandon]: Please be sure to just list the events -- create a new thread to talk about them. Also, add them to the calendar so they show up in CD-Events, and send a PM to me to get it added to the countdown. Please include a link to the event when requesting the countdown addition.

Mark your calendars everyone, because the Northeast's biggest, best, and baddest one day mini competition is back, and better than ever! (♥Alliteration)

Don't miss your first chance to get back on the field after the Championship! This event is JUST LIKE A REGIONAL. It is held in a hockey arena, and put up with a professional audio/video production company. We've got some surprises planned for Rack n' Roll, and the competition promises to be fiercer than ever...

To register, check out the official Beantown Blitz Website

Date: May 19th, 2007
Location: Matthew's Arena, Northeastern University, Boston, MA

Beantown Blitz is hosted by Northeastern University and team 125, the NUTRONS.

Hope to see you all there!!

If you're planning to use a FIRST field, you still have to request it from FIRST and get the paperwork filled out, signed, and returned prior to its release.

The 8th annual Ramp Riot will most likely be held on November 17th or November 10th.

However, there is some uncertainty about the dates due to the passing of Mike Wade. People are working very hard behind the scenes to ensure that the east coast Fall events ( DoD, NBE, VA Fair, Ruckus, & RR ) all take place as planned.

Hopefully we will hear back soon about arrangements for this Fall.

Thanks for your patience during this difficult situation.
