Before we opened the crate, we asked for a weight check. Each time, we were under 400 pounds and the extra charges were removed.

Amazing how that happens, eh? Especially repeatedly. Especially using those *calibrated* scales and *trained* individuals who know how to operate them properly.....:rolleyes:

You wouldn't want to think there's actual intent to defraud, but 80+ pounds off is ridiculous. They're either criminal or criminally-incompetent. If FIRST is going to charge more for overages, the people doing the weighing (Shepard employees?) must do it accurately.

The manual has been updated. Looks like the awards given out on the division fields will remain as they have in previous years. Kind of a disappointment but I'm not surprised.

24 days to kickoff...

I'm glad to see that these revisions have been made. I was quite confused.
