Re: [FTC]: FTC Champ Tournament - Connecticut
It looks like the majority of the snow will happen on Friday with sleet taking over on Saturday morning. I know teams from Maine, New Jersey, and New York are making the trip and that wouldn't be optimal to those teams by cancelling the event.

Kathie, if it helps, we need to know before 4:30 am on Sat. That is when our kids are set to arrive at the meeting place before we drive down. Anything later & we're already on our way!

Re: [FTC]: FTC Champ Tournament - Connecticut
We are hoping not to cancel Saturday's event. We are hoping to have a delayed start as a worst case scenario. We will make that determination as soon as we are able to, given the weather conditions and predictions tomorrow.

Please check the website for updates.

Re: [FTC]: FTC Champ Tournament - Connecticut
From the website.

Quote:
Due to the winter storm, we have decided to cancel all setup activities at Manchester High School originally scheduled for this evening.
We will operate under a 90 minute delay Saturday morning, allowing our volunteers and teams extra traveling time. We will make every effort to keep to our original event schedule beginning with Opening Ceremonies at 10:00 a.m.
Please use caution when traveling to Connecticut on Saturday.
Our event schedule for Saturday:
7:00 a.m. Doors will open for the planning committee and others who wish to help set up.
8:30 a.m. Doors will open for volunteers - our volunteer meeting will begin promptly at 8:40 a.m.!
9:00 a.m. Doors will open for teams. Inspections, Practice Rounds, and Judge Interviews will be compressed!
10:00 a.m. Opening Ceremonies

Re: [FTC]: FTC Champ Tournament - Connecticut
The pits are waiting for teams to arrive, the practice field is ready... the competition fields will be ready in the morning... we're psyched about this event! The snow has pretty much ended here with about 5 inches on the ground. Everyone take your time and travel slowly and we'll see you all tomorrow!

Re: [FTC]: FTC Champ Tournament - Connecticut
Take Kathie's advice to heart people!
I just got off the CT highways about a half hour ago, and there were still some cars who were spun out that I passed.

Go slow, and give yourselves plenty of time!
If worse comes to worse, and you're late, we'll be able to accommodate you I'm sure.

See everyone in the morning, and have a safe drive above all!!

Re: [FTC]: FTC Champ Tournament - Connecticut
Would someone please throw a snowball at Kathie? You can tell her that Jane sent it. (Nicely, I nicely threw a snowball but missed at Kick Off, dang it.)

Good luck and take pictures!
