(Also thanks to Will Weaver, whose great photos allowed me to determine which team deserved credit.)
And we thought we over packed a bunch of stuff that we weren't going to need. Happy to have been able to help- I think at least 2 teams used our lexan this year.

We were lucky enough to have found it for $16 a sheet at Lowes this year and bought almost 20 sheets- always keep your eye out for those deals!

Congrats and good luck in St. Louis!
