*rolls eyes* the Saga continued at the Finger Lakes Regional. The Pit admin not only didn’t know when the judging was... they didn’t even know WHERE.
Myself and another team ( I cannot remember the number to save my life) wandered around the building for a good half-hour and finally found the 'hidden' sign posted facing the wrong way outside a ticket office on the outskirts of the stadium. Nobody knew that the animation judging was on the practice round day either. (Usually its on Day 2
) After a frantic search and a little frustration, we had to advise the pits to make an announcement that the judging was in fact on that day, and when it was.
*sigh*
Not to knock FIRST or anything, but it goes to show you how little importance the animations are at the competitions.
