The endless walking from the...

...Is probably what caused your tiredness. You would have been even more tired if you traveled via the MARTA system. I think one of the main advantages to having it at Disney is that everything is in close proximity – not only in reference to the pits and fields but also to other members on your team - you would be able to work both in the pit and watch matches as well as be in some contact with your entire team without the hike in-between. Don't get me wrong - being able to attend Nationals in itself is extremely rewarding - but - Nationals in Disney would allow students to relax and have fun in a secure and exciting student-friendly environment. After 6+ weeks of constant work, I think that relaxing and having fun in "true Disney style" is the best reward that can be experienced after a long day of competition - and would be enjoyed by all participants and their families.
