The TechnoKats (Team #45) will also not be competing.
To make a long story short, the sponsoring school will not permit students to make an out-of-state trip without an "official" request being made more than a month in advance (having the date moved up by two weeks contributed to the problem).
Some team mentors will definitely show up, and nobody can object to team members traveling to watch with their parents, but the school policy won't let us attend as a team.
