Re: [BB] Bag & Tag in brief and MAR demystified
Perhaps I should've been more specific.
The issue is not that FIRST wouldnt make exceptions for teams in our situation, but rather the timing.
Last year, our team attended a bag-tag event at NYC. We werent officially notified until late December that arrangements would be made.
Given the deadline from Bill on December 2, 2011, they would then see what teams have requested for an exemption. Planning a trip for 30+ people ideally isnt done a month or 2 in advance. Once we sign up for a regional, we spend the next several days already making reservations/payments for travel expenses.
I booked our trip early last year, since it was quite obvious with the no. of teams that came from other countries and distances similar to ours, that a drayage site/arrangement would be made. There were other issues that came up with our participation in NY that we'd much rather avoid again. After saying this was going to be our last bag/tag event we ever did last year, I guess not......
