Dates for regional events generally aren’t finalized until later in the year. They also are subject to change from previous years due to scheduling conflicts. The Double DECCer events used to be week 2 but are now week 1 for that reason. An announcement will probably be made late summer-early fall.
As one of the MN FIRST people, I can tell you that we do not yet have any dates for events next year!. Please, let us at least get through Champs this week and States next month before we start nailing down specifics for next year!. I think it’s probably safe to say that Duluth will happen sometime in weeks 1-7 :yikes:
I think many events saw a one week shift this year due to how the calendar lines up with the FRC season. This year, kickoff was on January 9th - six days later in the year than last year’s kickoff on the 3rd. My assumption is that ECs put their events in the week that lined up with the calendar dates from last year.
The DoubleDECCer was also Week 1 last year, before that it was Week 2 afaik. Same with Minneapolis regionals - they were week 5, and changed to 6 last year.
