Re: Paper Airplanes!

Anyone know why there was such an enormous delay between the completion of the divisional championship and the finals ? An hour and half plus I believe. That was the root cause of the escalating infestation of airplanes.

Unfortunately Murphies law guarantees that someone will eventually be hit in the eye with one. Are we going to have to issue safety glasses for spectators ?

I was apparently in a sweet spot in the stands and got hit at least a dozen times. So often I was shielding my camera for its protection. While I was waiting I was trying to figure out the probability of me being hit once, never mind a dozen times in 90 minutes given the tens of thousands of spectators

Seriously FIRST, work on reducing the delay!
UPDATE: Thanks for the explanations the followed. I have to wonder if FIRST is violating the KISS principle. Too many things have to go right for the finals to start on time.
