Last year with your kit of parts, teams received three prepaid FedEx waybills. These prepaid shipments could be used for one regional, the championship event and for one shipment home (either after the Championship or after a regional). Teams are not allowed use a prepaid shipment for a second regional, in lieu of the championship.

Any additonal shipments which were not done through the donated FedEx service had to be made via Midwest Conference Services.

For the full details on last season's shipping rules, please refer to this document.

Remember though, these are last year's rules. There is no guarantee that things will remain the same. Make sure you plan your budget accordingly.
