Been said before, but worth saying again.
I don't think nationals can be limited based on preformance at regionals. The logistics of planning a trip to Florida in 3 weeks are horrendous. Plane tickets would cost 5x what they do when we can order them 6 months in advance. Hotel accomodations would be tough. If Disney tried to reserve rooms, they wouldn't want to reserve extra rooms, as they want to fill all rooms. So larger teams would get their travel team size cut. Not to mention the planing of each individual student's not knowing, and eventual let down of many.
I think that a change needs to be made in the way nationals are being run. I think that this year was horrible in that teams that wanted to come were not able to. I'm not sure of a solution. It seems we've reached the limit for 1 parking lot of Epcot. Is there a bigger parking lot? Are there 2 parking lots right next to each other?
