I have some rookie questions about the regional judging/interview process.

1) I see from the rules that a team has five (5) minutes for a presentation followed by five (5) minutes for a question period. I also know that ONLY three people form the team can attend, and that the session cannot be videotaped.

2) However, I have some questions:

a) How many judges review each team; is it a panel of 3, 10, or larger?
b) Does a team get a few minutes to "set-up" their presentation?
c) Are the interview time slots then every 30 minutes or so?
d) What does an interview room typically look like? Is it near the pits?
e) I assume the the judges will already have pre-printed copies of the yearbook page and chairman's submission; correct?
f) Do teams typically have any sort of "leave-behind" for the judges?

3) In past years, teams have presented Powerpoint slide shows, videos, etc. So, I assume that each team needs to bring their own laptop PC, projector, etc?
