Re: The Capital Clash
Is there an entry fee? Since 116 is starting to run low on budget, we need to consider those into our decisions. If we can fit it into our budget, signs look promising to 116 joining in the fun.

Re: The Capital Clash
Question: Are you going to be using a FIRST field? If not, where did you get it? Thanks. :)

Re: The Capital Clash
SOOOO many off seasons I don't know what to do...

Re: The Capital Clash
There will be an entry fee (probably about $100) that will most likely be refunded as "travel reimbursement" like the MD state Fair.
We are using the NASA GSFC field, courtesy of Mike Wade and the crew. We are working hard to get all the details finalized asap. |
