Mike,
The main, and only real, reason we will be going to Rutgers instead of Hartford is the timing. We just didn't feel there would be enough time between the Hartford Regional and the Nationals and the events were too close together to justify the amount of time the teachers and students would have to miss school. Having worked on many field teams, I am personally terrified of short ship dates and 3 days is way beyond my stress level! (thats ship it out Mon 3 April and hope it get's there Wed 5 April) Shipments get delayed and lost too easily. Beleive me we would have LOVED to stay close to home and save the travel money for Nationals but so be it. We felt the minimum of time between Regionals and Nationals would have to be two weeks.
Have fun, Gary Gabriel Team 121
