I don't see any rule that states when you have to buy material from SPI. Joe, I think you are reading more into the Q74 than it says. It only states that all teams have to live with SPI lead times. It does not prohibit using various methods of reducing lead times from SPI, including FedEx Priority or ordering early.
FYI, in past years, when additional raw material was more limited, we ordered raw material from SPI before kickoff.(don't use a FIRST order blank) We ordered many things even if there is only a small possibility of use. We usually spend about $3000 each year and have built up a large inventory of SPI material. Sometimes for prototyping we use local stuff but change it out with SPI stuff before shipping. We have done this to help support SPI and to stay legal, and we have no intention of throwing out this inventory.
