2009 Kickoff Attendance

Teams can get 4 tickets for the Founders reception. If only three can go to kickoff, whom do you ditch?

Force... err, rather... kindly request the 4th person in your party sign up in VIMS & volunteer at kickoff?
There are always ways around the seemingly improbable.

Looks like an oversight by FIRST if you can have 4 at Founder's & only 3 at the actual unveiling/Kickoff event at SNHU the next day. Oops.

Maybe not though? Who knows?

Is this maybe FIRST's way of saying they're cutting down to 3 per team (for both days) this year? FIRST is getting bigger and I'm sure that they'd want to do that to give more teams a chance to go. Founder's last year was incredibly packed, as was Kickoff, and as we keep gaining teams I think FIRST may want to give some newer teams & mentors a chance to hang around with the 'older-school', knowledagble mentors that tend to gravitate to Manchester around the beginning of January.

Keep in mind, I'm new(ish) to TIMS regarding kickoff/founder's, so I might have it all wrong. Just a thought.
