Arranging for travel without confirmed eligibility

At this point, airline seats may be hard to come by, particularly from Philly or Newark - a lot of teams in that area are going to Champs. Hotels are even more difficult. You will most likely end up at a hotel not within walking distance, so a bus (or other transportation) will come in very handy.

when we go to champs from Connecticut our team flies we are a small team roughly 10 people every year, and two of our mentors drive down with the pit stuff and the third mentor flies with us. you would diffinetly need to get tickets in advance cause once the district championships start happening ticket are gonna start disappearing

Thanks for the help so far. Our initial plan was actually to take a charter bus (for which we had already gotten a quotes that made the trip very affordable), but right before I made that post I'd been informed that we will be required to fly.

Do not forget to make plans on how to transport your tools and equipment down to Championship. I would reach out to Dave Morris and Team 2016 to inquire if they are once again helping MAR teams transport their pit set-ups to St. Louis.

If bussing is still an option, some other MAR teams share busses and split the cost among the teams. It might be worth looking into seeing if any teams in NJ are interested.
