It only seems "slow" because we decided to start talking about it a month in advance...

From what I've heard it takes about 6 months to get a passport (without paying an arm and a leg) if a team expects to travel out of the country, they need to tell the students to get passports now. I do not want to hear a story of a student not able to go to a competition because they weren't told to get a passport soon enough. Most teams out of The United States, Canada and Israel know they will need passport but what about the teams that travel between the U. S. and Canada?
