1511 has won it both at home and away. Home was very sweet because it was our first win (third year), and last year we won at Chesapeake, and to be honest, it was just as amazing... but for different reasons. Home is FLR, and usually week 1/2, our away is generally week 3/4/5. Submitting away allowed us to have more fun at FLR and relax a bit, and it allowed us to compete with a whole new set of teams.

I think its amazing either way, and would encourage teams to try both (obviously different years) if they have the option, and it makes sense for their sponsor/school.

Im not certain 1511 has decided at all, as its up to the kids, and we usually wait until the new kids have settled in to really decide. But it will be fun either way
