Re: Your Worst FIRST experience

Mine (and my team's) worst experience was at the Midwest Regional last year. At our hotel after a day of competition, one of our coaches was carrying around the team's $2000 laptop that had all of our stuff on it (website, newsletter, programming, etc) and he set it down at the hotel's front desk to check in and accidentally leaves it. Well, guess what happens...someone steals it. After calling the police, the cops searched each one of our rooms and questioned nearly all of the team members. To this day, the laptop has not been recovered.

Of course, the laptop was replaced and we still remind the teacher of his mistake. It is a humorous topic now, but last year, it was the worst thing that could happen.
