Go to Post It's always better to figure out why a design actually works and the best ways to implement it than to just assume upgrading to a "better" material will make everything work. - Cory [more]

Re: Bad News for teams on Waiting List

Why I don't go get a map and measure this out is beyond me. The only region this would negatively effect would be the South, for the most part.
The one part about it being cheaper, however, is that it might be harder to find a cheap ticket to Indy, then it is for Atlanta. I just looked myself, from Newark to Indy, and its fairly cheap, but it would be cheaper yet to Atlanta. And I'm sure some other teams might have difficulties for cheaper tickets.
Yet, this could be a problem with any location. Ideally, a major tourist area could be best.

Note: Should really get back on to the topic at hand, you could make another thread about this if wanted.

And the waiting list has always been like this. If you really wanted to go, there was time at the beginning of the year to signup. I know you may not have had the money/support back then, but it happens. You just have to take whats given to you.
I know 1626 just signed up Monday for Palmetto, after an impressive performance at Boston, they wanted another chance to be able to qualify for Nationals, and that was it.

If you do say something that isn't just for fun or praising something, which hopefully you do, just be prepared to back up what you said.

Remember: GP is Gracious Professionalism, not Glorifiying Plesantries. Saying something negative does not mean you are evil. It could help someone out a lot.

Anything that I post is an opinion from my own mind. Some may agree with it, others may not. However do not negatively associate anyone else, including any team I work with, with my opinion.
