Re: Bag and Tag Events List

Chris -

The "official" position has always been that everything ships. You ship to your first event, from your first to your second, from second to championship, from championship home (for example). It's been possible to get exceptions in the past - if you don't qualify for championship, for instance, you could get an exception and take your robot+crate home with you from your last event of the season. (Section 4.5.9 of the 2010 manual)

Hopefully, with the dramatic increase in bag and tag events, and the huge likelihood that a large number of teams will be attending both BAT and traditional events, they'll change the way the exception process works. Yes, you need to ship to traditional events, but they should allow exceptions if its your last event OR if your next event is bag and tag.

It would cut down on shipping costs, and probably make things easier for the teams.
