Re: Championship 2008 - Atlanta - Your Thoughts Please

First off i thought GWCC and the Gerogia Dome did an excellent job of housing our ever growing WWF for smart people event...

One thing that would benefit all teams.. would be the addition of extra practice arenas or partial practice arenas (maybe 1 per division).. Luckily, our team was able to aquire one practice slot on two of the three days and many other teams wern't even able to recieve a single practice slot on the fields. Im not sure on the logistics of the issue but more practicing time would be a great addition to the Internationals...(for last minute tweaks )

Last thing.. at the practice field during one of our slots we found there was no track ball to practice with because ... "FIRST was not providing trackballs for the practice field." (what we were told) Fortunately we had brought our deflated trackball and were able to inflate it with 5 min to spare or so.. Im not sure if the provision of trackballs was announced or not before hand but we ended up deciding to give our track ball to the practice field for the remaining time in the Gerogia Dome for the other less fortunate teams who hadnt brought their track balls with them.

Overall it was another great FIRST INTERNATIONAL !!!
