I get that FIRST was dealing with a much bigger problem over the last month with the competition registration debacle, but the order really does make it confusing to find your desired kickoff location. Indianapolis has 2 locations, but they are separated by a page of scrolling. Thankfully I know the specific event my team is going to, but if I didn't, I might not even know there was a choice.
My team was only allowed 38 slots at our kickoff (TN - University of Tennessee). Ideally, I would have put 50 because that's about how many my team will send. I know that UT can handle the capacity. I thought but wasn't sure that it was attached to number of students & mentors registered for the team, but our team only has about 20 registered as of now.
