Team issues and difficulties?....(not just technical ones)

Hey everybody...I wanted to start a thread discussing team "issues"...for example, what is your team having to deal with @ the moment (not just technical problems but social, emotional) Itīs just that I wonder how many other teams go through what we go through...

---------------------------------------------

Well our teamīs not having major technical difficulties...everybody does his/her part well...
This is the scenario: Weīre from Brazil. We have 26 students. We only have enough $$$ to send about 6 to 8 people.
**So....everybody wants to go (travel to the States: itīs every kidīs dream!) but thereīs not enough for all...people are becoming depressed, and I can say that they have every reason to. I mean, the guyīs working 24/7 during his summer vacation (yes, itīs summer here!) and doesnīt get to experience the best part of the competition? He has every reason to be angry and upset...
Today weīre having a meeting to decide whoīs gonna go...I would love to be able to go to new jersey and all but if i were chosen i would feel bad for the guys that are staying...im so confused. Unfortunately we havent been able to get any sponsors so far but lets keep praying huh

Well thatīs our teamīs major problem at the moment...but learning to solve them is part of the game and the challenge!!!
Hope your problems arent worse than ours!

Feel free to
