Championship 2007 Question

[Peter Matteson]

I checked and it avoids the FE and PE exam dates April 21 and 20th respectively. (My complaint from 2003's scheduling). Also I would think it would interfere with fewer proms.

The Championships barely miss the AIMS testing here in Arizona, which will be April 11 and April 12 (but April 12 is a field test, so it doesn't count for anything).

I'm glad our prom doesn't interfere, though that hasn't been a problem since '04.

WATER GAME??
You got inside info?

Back in the day, I was a grade-schooler, and undergraduate, and a grad student in Hot-lanta. Trust me, we don't want to hold a FIRST event when the relative humidity is higher than the temperature, and both are in the high nineties. Those who still live there know what I mean.

What a relief, the majority of my AP Tests fall in the first week. (Last year we got back, woke up the next morning, and took AP Language)
