: Isn't September a bad time to do a competition that involves carryover from the previous school year? Our entire drive team were seniors this year. If the competition is in September, they will all be in college and will be unable to compete.
Actually, a small competition in the fall is an excellent way to indoctrinate new team members (both student and adult) to understand what the contest is all about.
The Bobcats participated in RiverRage (Manchester NH) two years ago (we had a schedule conflict last year) and it was a great experience for all concerned. The veterans get a chance to coach the newbies and everyone is buzzing about what evil twists Woodie and Dean will hit us with in January.
As one of the team leaders for 177, I will do my best to get my team to at least one fall competition. It really helps psyche people up.
Mike
