If it makes you feel better, my team left DURING THE SEMIFINALS, right after the second Archimedes-Newton match. The only reason they gave me was that we needed to stick to a schedule that was chosen, for all intents and purposes, randomly and that didn't match what our itinerary had been to that point in time.

Apparently, this schedule required us to be back in Michigan at 8:30 on a Sunday morning.

I'm still upset about it, but there wasn't much I could do about it when my choices were getting on the bus or being stuck in Atlanta.
