Just curious:

Does your team advise you not to show affection (PDA) for that special other of yours at Competition and Events.
We like to tease the team couples, but it's not really a problem. I met my boyfriend through Robotics and I think it's great that people have FIRST in common. Hand holding, sitting next to each other, and hugging is acceptable. I will even admit to being that friendly with people I'm not dating.
I admit to being a little strict in the hotel with the kids, but I'll admit it's because I was personally upset my boyfriend couldn't make the trip. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it such a big deal.

Do you think their should be a team rule if your team does not have one?
We call it "Keep it G-rated" . I like that rule.

Another topic, how do you feel about the students outside sun bathing and hanging outside (especially seen at Atlanta) during matches and competition?
I am a little jealous of that also. I think that you shouldn't be doing that. I try to make jokes about it when i give VIP tours, but I think it's unprofessional.

Anyone want to touch on the subject? Agree or disagree.
Also, the naps on the couches? Well, you know what, I'd fall asleep on the floor. Our students get about 5 hours of sleep maximum during CMPs. Also, about 4 students were suffering from colds, and I fell asleep several times waiting for matches. If you need to nap in the midle of the day, then do it. You certainly can't hike 6 blocks by yourself to go to the hotel to do that.
