A "nearly complete" event list for the Union County Regionals has been posted! Enjoy!

So even though NJ is desperate for event sups, UCC is still able to run two trial events?

Princeton University is now starting up its Invitational Tournament!!!!! (Woohoo!!!!!) The event will occur on February 4, 2017. Details in the link here: http://www.princeton.edu/~scioly/ Enjoy!

Noticed that 2 of the 3 regional competition listed their event lists...
does this mean the other events are out completely or will the kids see these events when they go to the states/nationals?

thanks in advance.

The National Tournament runs the national event slate. From what I know of NJ, the state tournament usually runs all events, although they usually barely have enough event supervisors to do so.

Usually what happens is only a certain number of events from the state list will be run at regionals and then the full list of events will be run at states and nationals. The state has full discretion on which events to run at regionals, though, which is why they change from region to region. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply.

seems the NJIT regioin has some interesting events for this year.

as for helping out with the regional events, what does it involve?
i would love to be of help if i can... only issue is that it is smack in the middle of my major traveling schedule... but thinking if there is way of juggling my schedule around a bit...

thanks again.

Most likely you would just contact the regional director and ask them about it, although it may work differently in NJ (e.g. in NY it would probably be a more complicated process involving the state event supervisor). Lumosityfan can probably give you a more definite answer.
