Re: pic: Colordo Regional Thursday

Does anyone mind explaining, someone texted me and told me that everyone was sent home on thursday? I don't know how true that was, but does anyone know what really happened?

Thanks

Thursday was cancelled due to a snowstorm. Friday ran practice and quals. Saturday starts early.

I'm a little lost by what you mean here.

DU closed the arena on Thursday at 10:30 and FIRST was required to send everybody home. I have my own suspicions about DU's reasoning behind this but there was no rumor.

I was part of the inspection team, we were quite busy Friday morning trying to get everybody through inspection. They ended up giving every team 2 practice matches after the opening ceremonies and didn't start qualifiers till later in the day. Despite the lost time the regional turned out great, everybody got plenty of field time.
