Re: Your Thoughts on the 2005 Championship Eligability Critera!
Does the fact that Atlanta is within theoretical bus distance from 1/2 to 3/4 of the FIRST teams change things at all?


This year, to save money, the Chief Delphi team rode the bus to Atlanta. I have to say that it was fine as far as I was concerned and while some of the kids complained, I would say that if it came down to going or not, all would agree to take the bus.

Does the possibility of taking a bus rather than having to get last minute (expensive) plane tickets make a difference to any teams?

I am probably in the minority on this, but I would even recommend leaving for home right after the team party on Saturday night rather than staying in the hotel another night.

My daughters school did this type of thing on a class trip. Everyone comes home tired, but it is a big cost savings.

Thoughts?
