Only smallest in landmass, there are a lot of states with less population (and nearby population centers) that they could have chosen... Also please stop complaining, as nice as this is I still have to go 6+ hours to a regional, don't act like you have it bad =/ And yes, anyone can attend and play in Nationals this year.

You're complaining about 3 hours? There has never been a VGC-related event closer than 7 hours away from me, and probably won't be in the near future. And I'm really happy about these new changes, not mad I have to pay $100 (which I will be paying well over $100 to attend one regional). As for you being in a very populated city, you get a regional a mere 3 hours from you. You are sounding like a snob, like if you were given a brand-new car then complained you had to pay for your own insurance, something you're expected to do.
You do have other regional's to choose from. Rhode Island is for the New England Area. We have North East Regionals next year(Philly) and I think its like a 2 hour bus ride (I've done it last year). I know plenty of people who travel 3+ hours for tcg and also for vgc.
Also Jrank has a point (minus the snob part). Just because you live in NYC doesn't mean you are entitled to a regionals. I do look forward to tcg+vgc regionals coming back to NYC (vg in 08 and tcg in 07).
I had to drive about three hours to San Jose last year. It really wasn't a big deal.
Oh how I wish VGC came to Canada...
Except for the three Canadian events, that's too bad.
I'm sorry, I don't live in Antarctica, I expected with 15 stops I'd have one closer to me. Oh well. Also, right DTrain. I do know I'm not entitled to one, I was just saying I'd be happier if it was closer. That's all I meant. I also look forward to the vgc and tcg coming back to NYC. It wasn't very convenient for most people, but it'll be fun nonetheless. Probably won't happen though :/
Woo! Surrey stop is about 3 hours away! I am there! Any word on when the Surrey regionals will be?
edit: nvm, still unconfirmed. gotcha.

Exactly. Wish people would stop complaining! 6 hours was a delightfully short trip for me to Indianapolis this year compared to everywhere else I attended.
Also... am I correct in assuming you'll be at Ft. Wayne? Cause it would be pretty awesome to potentially hang out again like we did at Worlds this year! Perhaps we could even find a TGI Friday's to go to.
I'll be there(and looking forward to seeing you, apparently)! We'll definitely have to track a Fridays down, it just wouldn't be the same if we didn't...
YES I WILL BE THERE AS WELL (ZachDro has kindly offered to take me with him so long as I can get to milwaukee =D)

I'm everywhere, you ain't never there
There's a thread with the rules already, if you haven't seen it yet.
Philly is only 3 hours from NYC, I believe? Go there.
For everyone else: I'll be at Philly (shut up.) If anyone (other than andrea - we've already talked about it) will be attending, let me know.
lol

so bummed I have to miss the first-ever INDIANA REGIONAL UGH. oh well!
I'll definitely be attending the atlanta regional, should it remain a trend and exist, and possibly the seattle regional? maybe ending up there springish time, who knows how close it'll be to May or whenever. so yeah go team!

The Northwest Regional has already been announced and confirmed for Salem, OR. There will not be a Seattle regional. The Canada West regional has been in the lower mainland for the past several years. Unless they move it to Calgary, which I doubt they'll do, it will be in the Metro Vancouver area again. Most likely Surrey.
