I'll start this one a bit early just in case people need time to save money (since Box5 charges like $15-$30 per event) or plan around whatever they have going on in life since there are 3-4 dozen events this coming season.
After realizing Orlando might be the only time we see BA & Tarpon compete, I thought this would be a great thread for everyone to give their top 5 events as well as opinions, reasons, & takes on which regionals would be the best to stream this coming season. Also, make your top 5 as a ranking so number 1 is the one you recommend the most.
Of course Grand Nationals & all 3 Super Regionals are a must... but let's hear what y'all have on your minds!!

I'd like to add another idea. Tell us a Regional you think people should watch that might be getting over looked. The event you think people might be surprised by or think it would be good for people to see what kind of shows/culture an area creates in regards to the activity. There are plenty of styles out there that people may not be aware of and discovery that they may really like!
I'll add my two cents a bit later but this is a good thread to really have.

Midland regional is looking like a big sleeper this year, got your typical west Texas reps in Permian and Pecos, some Texas bands making the long trip, and then quite a few exciting out of staters like Mustang, Hobbs, and potentially Clovis and Loveland as well.

For the early season definitely Arizona/Des Monies/Obetz. They are packed and with heavy hitters.
Later season Indianapolis for the OK bands and Lincoln coming, Orlando bunch of good bands coming, and St. George is packed.
The two new TN shows has some new faces.
I'm excited.

As a visual person, interested in new and exciting ideas that I haven't seen before, involving well-integrated design thought processes...
Not Texas.

Because I think some of the names of the groups in this contest are overlooked due to being more infrequent competitors in BOA, I’d highly recommend streaming the Prosper regional. Lots of quality band to enjoy and hear, mid-season contest with bands closing to completion/near-completion of their shows. This contest has so much depth that it’ll be a fun spectator game to split hairs and see which ones squeak into finals and where! There’s gonna be lots to enjoy at this one!

As an aside, pleased to see arguments over conflicting schedules despite the BOA schedule gafe this year.

All/most of Waco finals you'll catch a week later at San Antonio (and/or UIL SMBC), so Piscataway gives you more variety

So it's been about 2 and a half months since I made this, how is everybody feeling after all the official schedules dropped? Leaning on the same regionals or have additions swayed thoughts to other regionals?

I'm not getting the Flo subscription (very busy fall season being at... BOA!), but here's what I've been keeping my eyes on so far (in order of preference) (' denotes not-miss):
WEEK 1: Louisville' Whitewater
WEEK 2: Austin' -------- Columbus Las Cruces/Chattanooga*
WEEK 3: Des Moines/Conroe Midland McAllen
WEEK 4**: Katy' Dallas Flagstaff/Toledo/Memphis
WEEK 5: Carolina Prosper
WEEK 6: Indy Super' Orlando' ------------------- Johnson City College Park
WEEK 7: St. Louis Waco SoCal Piscataway
WEEK 8: San Antonio' St. George Troy?
*Honestly, it's pretty close between the 3, I just prefer Columbus because of the attendance. **This week is just honestly fantastic all around. It's absolutely worth watching every regional.
From last year, Louisville, Katy, and Orlando are no-brainers. The additions of Carmel and Avon head-to-head very early in the season makes Louisville a must-watch. The addition of TWHS, James Bowie, and Bridgeland to the core of RR, Cedar Ridge, CTJ, and Pearland from last year boosts the match-up into latter-season Austin status. With the OK contingent, Indy Super is an obvious pick, but pound-for-pound, the additions of Owasso, Broken Arrow, Byrnes, Cleveland, Harrison, and Alter make Orlando just about a viable alternative.
Week 2 and 4 also have pretty strong lineups all around. One would be hard to remiss skipping those weeks entirely.
