We working on it! Wrapped up the video yesterday and trying to make sure we have the people to attend. It'll be in by this evening. Thanks!

Question, by submitting an application to attend, would our team be financially committed to the event if we were accepted or would we be able to decline to go if it wasn't within our team's finances?

[Chris Fultz]

we like for you to be "reasonably sure" you can attend, but we realize that things can change and teams may not get approval.

We will send invites, and then teams have time to decide for sure and to 'register' and pay.

I asked AB about it, and he said their drive team was itching to go.
Hopefully this is just a case of procrastination and they'll register in the next few hours, as they're almost too good not to go.

It's 8:47 PM here, and the website says that application are no longer being accepted?

I thought the process would close right before midnight....

I wonder what time zone they were referring to...if it's any in the U.S., it should still be open.

[Chris Fultz]

not sure why it closed early - it is open now.

eek, I hope ours went through. It let me submit and showed the confirmation around 5pm. Would there be reason to resubmit?

Thank you!

Best of luck 100% of rookies* in IRI elims last year won the whole enchilada, so it's a pretty good record having rookies around!


*also known as team 4334. 2056 did it in 2007, too.
