Do you think there will be a problem with setting up?
Usually, it takes about five to six hours to set up the playing field with about a dozen people. (That was what it took to set up the field at UTC.) And that is just the playing field; there is a lot more to set up than just a playing field. You better stock up on caffienated beverages and some midnight oil if the basketball team is playing Wednesday night, becuase you may need an all nighter to pull it off in time.
