Actually, it is 10+ hours since that is the time limit for a single bus driver.

From Scotch Plains, NY to St. Louis, NJ, you are looking at 13 hours by bus.

For a Team, a bus is definitely the way to go. Especially if you can fit your pit into the bus cargo area.

Your bus choices are:
1) Stop overnight along the way. That adds room cost. Maybe east of Indianapolis both ways. For the return, see if you can get a hotel with late checkout. Then you can go to the Sat Evening Finale, leave after the Finale, and get to Indianapolis around 2am. Leave around 1pm the next day (driver needs 8 hours off).

2) Arrange for a 2nd driver to drive the remaining distance. Maybe Driver 1 gets you to/from Pittsburgh, and Driver 2 gets you between Pittsburgh and St. Louis.

Maybe a mix of the two. 2nd driver on the way out, and single driver after that.
