So I have never been with a team where we had this happen to us, or ever thought would have to reach to get help figuring this out.
But our team, which we are getting ready to go to Orlando this week to compete, was told today by the principal that the team would not be allowed to go to competition now. The school has already donated to support the team, and when faced with last minute rush to find funds the team went and talked to him at which point he informed the instructor in charge that now because the funds are not there the team is not allowed to go. So I guess in short what I am here for is to ask, have any teams faced this and what did they do to overcome it? And also if anyone in South Florida knows of someone looking to help a team last minute we could use any help possible. Thank you for any advice or input, we are in desperate need for help and I hate to see the team not get to go because of it.
