2013 Lessons Learned: The Negative

[CENTURION]

I know others have touched on it here and there, but the finale was an absolute disaster.

It worked fine in 2012 because there were multiple places for teams to go, so the load of people was distributed to a comfortable level. But packing all the teams into the Science Center like that? Just terrible.

Not only is it uncomfortable, and not fun for anybody, it's unsafe. People were getting bumped around and elbowed all over the place. Not to mention that the food (which was fantastic, and plentiful last year), was far less than what was needed for the volume of people at the event. We had to stop at a McDonalds down the highway just so our team members could get some dinner. We met up with team 303 there, and many of them expressed the same issues.

I heard there was talk of asking for our money back, and frankly, I'm for it.
