Yep, two years ago the format was completely different (10 minute video)... I myself, a few other kids, and our TV lab teacher busted our butts throughout 6 weeks making this video.. We make this pretty box and send the DVD in. So when our presenters go to present the judges listen for five minutes or so, then one stops our presenter in mid sentence and says something like this
"Oh wait, you guys aren't 222... your'e..... 341?... Turns out we couldn't see your video, our computer wouldn't run it. You have a hour to get a computer that we can watch it on"
So we run around like headless chickens looking for a computer (non-mac). After nearly a hour we realize our pitmates 357 have a compaq, and we rush to the judges. They can't hear anything in the loud situation, so we go downstairs to the locker room (at Drexel's gym) and from what i've heard there was a bodybuilder in there listening to some loud music. So we ask him politely to turn it down for 10 minutes, and he refuses. The judges watch our video in a smelly, loud weight room. Fortunately, it went much better the next 2 years, as WE brought our own computer. Lessons learned
