Will 179 be attending Rocket City rather than SMR now since you received the challenge grant?

Did you sign up for both events prior to the announcement?
Just curious.
We applied for Rocket City Challenge Grant but didnt receive it.
We werent sure if we had to sign up first, then apply for the grant or if it wasnt necessary.
What we didnt want happen to us again was signing up for an event, and then be told later they no longer were offering challenge grants at all after the announcement. i.e. New York Tech Valley 2016

They're already registered for Smoky Mountains. Rocket City is the same week (booo. Wish we could go again), so they have to drop SMR first.

No we did not sign up for Huntsville prior and also we put in the application that we would not attend if we did not receive the grant
