Is there any way a list could be posted of what all teams are signed up?

Second request for the above.
Also, is there a registration deadline? Our callout is Thursday, so it may be a week before we get our heads wrapped around the 2016/17 team and what we can attend this year.

[Peyton Yeung]

I will check on the above questions and respond by later tonight.


EDIT: There is no official end of registration date (besides the event obviously). We are hoping to finalize team registration at least a week before the event. I'll update when that is more solid.

As for the team list, I'm waiting to hear back from the Purdue Conventions Representative on who has registered.

[Taylor]

Thanks Peyton!
