Considering it was $40/ticket just to get into the wrap party in previous years, I wouldn't ever call the food "free". They typically rolled the cost up into whatever hotel room you booked through Steele Meetings. Though I do see your intended point (bring cash).

I do agree -- if it's announced at ONE regional, it needs to be sent out to everyone.

pain pain pain, but it could be worse? it could just be one field... that would be a pain to play on with more than 300 teams....

New Update.

They listened to us a little bit. Now teams will change fields at the end of the day on Thursday and then again on Friday. No switching during the middle of the day. This is a good change, however if you happen to be in Newton or Curie you will play 2 out of 3 days in the Pits.

Still hiding the big plans for Friday and Saturday night....

Wouldn't around the same number of matches be played Friday as Thursday and Saturday combined? That would balance out the pit vs. dome time pretty well, no?

Seems logistically better than before. Still hoping there is enough seating in the pit field areas to accomodate teams.

The main difference would be where the division eliminations take place. Archi and Galileo finals would be in the dome...big stage for big event, perhaps more special than bleacher seating in the pits?

P.S. What is this going to do to the whole "ROBOT" yell in the midst of an exodus? Create a chorus line?

We, me and my best friend (as Ed says my twin), did this in Florida for the regional. The distances we walked were astronomical! It is fun to see how far you walk each day!
