Surprises

What surprises or important announcements will we see/hear during the Championship award ceremony?

I think some new regionals will be announce for 2009 and a little clue for the 2009 game.

New regional: Puerto Rico?

New regionals
Something like the Youtube thing from last year
Update on Dean’s arm

New regional:
Puerto Rico?
New Zealand?

We’ll probably see a big announcement of the previously mentioned New Zealand regional. I wouldn’t be too suprised to see a regional in Puerto Rico or even Mexico.

Maybe they will have another, more successful, demonstration of the new FRC and FTC kits.

New Regionals:

New Zealand Regional
Washington D.C Regional
Dallas Regional

Washington as in Washington, DC?

That’s what I suspect. Washington state has one already, plus Portland one state over.

I had understood that chesapeake had some issues and “almost didn’t happen”. I’m curious as to whether or not this is a replacement or addition (or in another part of the country)

Correct. Also if I recall correctly, there was no homework issued?

3 new regionals- New Zealand, Washington, D.C. and one other. No homework given, no clues for next year’s game that I noticed.

Homework WAS given, it was to create some sort of video similiar the Presidents Circle assignment last year.

I totally want to do that, but I have no video editing experience.

Right- I was thinking more direct homework from Dean, but I guess that counts too.

does anyone have specifics as to this homework?

I think the kickoff homework still applies. Get out there!

The third new regional is in Dallas. Teams in that area keep an eye out and pray/hope that it doesn’t conflict with the Lone Star Regional or Oklahoma Regional, and hopefully not with Bayou either!
