Re: 2010 Silicon Valley Regional

I'm hoping the thread doesn't degenerate into dozens of posts criticizing the OP for misusing the phrase "Gracious Professionalism". I mean he does bring up a point that his team can't go to any regional and others get to two, and while it's not "un GP" at all that other teams are using their right to go to two events after the first event deadline passed, it's still a sticky situation for the OP, and if he used the words "unfair" instead of "un-GP" it would be a lot better. The post isn't worded in that he thinks other teams should drop out in order for them to compete or anything like that.

Granted, you can't expect any team to drop their second event to allow you to compete (though that would be extremely gracious if a team did). I'd say your best hope is to contact the SVR Regional Director and see what he or she can do.

You still can compete, just at another event.
Perhaps the team can't afford to travel.
