Re: Registration 2010

Back up to 147 teams registered for Championship.
22 acceptances in 24 hours.

We have a partial credit from a grant that was going to be lost. We're trying to recover it now to help with the cost.

The Invoice got listed in TIMS as soon as FIRST acknowledged our acceptance.

It's still kind of late in our planning phase. Our fundraising cash reserves have already been allocated or earmarked, so it'll end up a more expensive trip for a fewer number of students, but the seniors are psyched.

Our pit was empty last year as we tried out a minimalist pit to see what shipping to see what cost savings we could realize on shipping and local purchases. I think we'll be doing that again this year - maybe not so barebones this time though.
