Why in the world thanksgiving weekend?
I just think that it's sort of weird that CDI is even being proposed for a holiday weekend. With so many families who travel out of town, as well as engineers and college students who don't get much time off... I'd hope that it wouldn't be on a holiday weekend.
I'll admit that I'm a bit biased, but I know that as more and more college sponsored teams are being formed, this would essentially force college advisors to either not go home during the holiday (bad) or miss the competition (bad).
There's a lot of weekends to choose from, I hope that those who make the choice for the competition are able to understand the dilemma that certain advisors would be placed in, if CDI was during Thanksgiving weekend...
On weather it should be a 1 or 2 day event, I feel that 1 day is quite sufficient to get a full experience of an off-season competition. Why make students miss school if they don't need to ?
Just my two cents!
