Pst, Ashley, Regionals are three days long. 
You got that right. We were looking forward to having those folks who always leave town at spring break able to see WMR. Our other preferred regionals (Boilermaker, but Wisconsin also) will also force the back to back situation. This really throws a wrench into our plans.
haha just kidding!!! it was 930 and my math was TOTALLY off there… i added in the 30th too for some strange reason lol… so we can strike my wrong opinion 
thanks kristian!
VIMS has the Connecticut regional during week 3 (3/13-3/15)
First time (in 8 years) for VCU to not be a week one regional. Should be nice to have someone else work out the kinks.

GTR is actually a decent amount away from LA Regional this year. If we make it over, at least there will be less of a chance for a missing robot and another need for a one day wonder. 
(edit)
oh wait nevermind, it’s still the following week. Israel being alone confused me. lol
Additional events are now up:
To see the list, you must log in with your VIMS id (or create an id). After you enter your personal information, you get to the volunteer preferences pages, where you put down the events where you can volunteer. There is a drop-down list with the events and dates.
No FLL or FTC events yet.
I don’t believe FTC events will be listed in VIMS. Contact the Affiliate Partnerfor the area you are interested in for volunteer opportunities.
For FLL, it would be only the World Festival. I didn’t know about FTC, now that it’s “official” and everything.
I received an email reply from an event volunteer coordinator, and she said that not all dates were set in stone yet. They didn’t have a contract signed with the venue.
I was also just informed of the same information, for what it’s worth; particularly with respect to Seattle.
anyone else upset that the GLR and the GTA regionals are at the same time??
We wanted to go to both for because there are so many great teams in both… hopefully this ends up changing lol :S:( :S
LSR is week 4 this year, as opposed to week 5 last year. It also falls under our team’s spring break too, so I don’t miss any school
LSR Will be taking place in Katy ISD’s Merrel Center. See the forum below if need more info (more will come later).

Please note that this move is only for this year
Not etched in stone yet. There is still a possibility that LSR will move to the sixth week, and be held at Reliant Convention Center. I have heard that there are some problems with the Merrill Center not being able to accommodate all the teams. There would have to be tents set up outside if this is the case. 
I’d advise against tents if there is any way to avoid that. The 1996 Championship at Epcot used a tent for the pits, and it was way too hot in there for comfort. However, the neighborhood was very nice. 
Back to the present: weeks 3 and 5 look like logistical challenges, with 10 events each. That’s a lot of material and people to move around. Weeks 1 and 2 are relatively light with 5 events each. Hopefully something can be done to balance things better than they appear now.
Also, as Beth pointed out, anyone planning to make the tour of Michigan events will be very busy for three straight weeks in March. The same is true for anyone planning to make the tour of California events – and they’d have to miss either Sacramento or Los Angeles. Then again, anyone that crazy probably will have also been fairly busy in January and February …:rolleyes:
My team leader emailed us today with Detroit taking place during Week 2, different from this information. The other two Michigan events were the same as in this thread. I’m not sure where his information came from, though.
Arghhhh!!! Set 6* is impossible (more like improbable)! How am I supposed to go to Hawaii, Vegas, Boston, Philly, and GTR now all next year?
And why is NYC the only regional during Set 7*? One may assume that space is reserved for the new regionals (if there are any). Makes sense in a way. Save the last weekend for the new regionals so they won’t have to deal with all the early week regional problems that come every year.
*(notice I didn’t say week 6, or week 7. That’s not how it’s really set up anymore with Israel being in the middle of a week and atypical of a Thurs. - Sat. competition.)
Sorry Gina, no go. See the “Official” release post. Weeks 3 (Detroit), 4 (WMR) and 5 (GLR).
(Note for Elgin - “weeks” - Isreal is week 4.5)
Gary, I don’t seem to see an official one. Can you link us?
