Just to toss out a suggestion - could you update the OP with links to teams' posts as they respond? It would be a great help

846 is getting up really early (4 AM) to catch the flight out to NYC. I've attached a "pokemon card" that we'll be handing out that was designed to make it easy on the scouts. We'll have copies at the event for teams to take.
