Maybe we just have terrible luck... this is the second year they've done it to us though, and I've heard of other teams having problems too
We plan on $800.00 in our budget because of past experience with MCS. Most of the time when you have a problem with MCS they do try to resolve it at the event. The problem is that your weight and MSC's weight are usually very different.
