I think that the 'home field advantage' is certainly gone. From a presenter's point of view, I love it, because you just get more presentations to perfect your pitch. We're going to three district events, and while it certainly wasn't fun to lose at the first two, the presentation should be really strong at OSU this weekend. If we end up moving on into the later rounds of Chairman's, we'll have more presentations under our belts, be more comfortable in the judging room, and just have a better presentation, period.
