Re: Is competing at multiple regionals REALLY fair ?

The fact that so many "excellent" teams came to our regional, winning many of the awards, didnt outweigh the positives of what they brought to our 21 rookie teams this year. The proof is when these "mainland" teams had nothing but nice things to say and shared whatever questions and information that the new "rookies" wanted to know.
Embrace the challenge, dont shoot it down.  |
Kudos, I was just going to point out your team to answer this one
