The listing posted above for backpacks is accurate.
You can bring the backpack to the competition with you and turn it in a check-in.
Dinner is in the school cafeteria. We start serving towards the end of Friday matches, and try to have everyone served before the talent show starts.
Dress is "FIRST Casual".
We will send invitations to 80 teams. The first 72 that respond with an
acceptance and payment are in. If we do not have 72 by the cut-off date, anyone in the first group of 80 goes to the bottom of the waiting list and we send invites to the next group of teams to fill the field.
If you sign up, commit and pay, and then cannot attend, a refund depends on timing. Before June 18, we may be able to do a refund if we fill the slot. After June 18, there will be no refunds available.
The objective is to create a strong field of 72 teams and to give teams time to plan for the summer travel. It is difficult to invite teams at the last minute due to school travel restrictions and logistics during the summer.
