The Chairmans one got moved to a different timeslot causing me to miss it, etc. I cant say I directly saw the new schedule, or what the conflict was, but that is what my teammembers said. I had to assume since we got it all right on thursday, that the friday issues were due to a change like they said.

I guess we read this wrong:

You cannot bring food on site at all. Not even as a promotion.
Do not provide teams with candy, water, fruit, soft drinks, etc. This is to
promote good will and the spirit of partnership with the venues
I assumed that the water bottles were empty ones, and still wouldnt be allowed in the pits. The regionals seemed to be more strict about ingraining it in our heads though. And the giant signs that always say no food or drinks in the pits also made us think that.
