I'm trying to think of anything anyone missed..Hmmmm....Food and Drinks at VCU are a bit pricey....its a better deal to go to one of the places across the street, but keep in mind with the teams there they all will be busy. If you can stagger lunch times for students and mentors that might work better.

The music is LOUD....so if you have students with sensitive ears bring ear plugs.
A plus though is we have some great announcers and Jeff Seaton is our MC.

The team social should be....as its has been the last ten years or so at the Va. Science Museum....
Unless they change it this year...the food isn't so great
(i think it was better 10 years ago...my opinion) but the museum is a neat venue
and there is lots to see and do while there.

The Va. First folks are a great bunch of folks and know their stuff...Most of the Einstein crew
from CMP last year were the Va. folks. The head ref has
already reffed at two other regionals so she knows her stuff.
Queuing...They like to try and stay "on time" and they do announce matches often...
but keep on your toes for match times sometimes its hard the hear
the match announcements.

Load in and out can be a pain...but you can load in early on Wednesday night until 8pm i think...
there is more information on the Va. First site.
