Re: Back to back regionals
1305 has done Waterloo and Toronto regionals back to back for as long as they have been in existence. We traveled about 200- 250 miles to each event. Shipping was never an issue because they were both handled out of the same warehouse. Now with bag and tag, we have to send a truck with the robot, and find someone near the regional who can ship it for us immediately after Saturday finishes if we qualify because FedEx doesn't ship LTL to our city. But the biggest issue for back to back regionals is missing school, it can be hard for students to miss 2-3 days of schoool 2 weeks in a row without marks falling a bit as a result.
