We got off to a nail biting start this morning. Most of the team came to our house so that could bring them all in together. That went well, neatly eliminating the wait for the one parent that inevitably gets lost. The whole team was present and accounted for 40 minutes prior to their first appearance. Then when the manager went to register the team we realized that we didn't fill out the medical release forms and we didn't have but the one blank copy. The registrars refused to take the information handwritten on paper they need the official form signed by the parents we neatly left at home. The manager managed to find an open copy shop, make the copies, repark (there are thousands of cars here today) and then we got to teach the children the finer points of. misrepresentation. We didn't sign their parents names as that would be forgery but signed our own names as if we were qualified hoping they wouldn't notice.
Registration was completed two minutes prior to show time. The kids then had to haul across campus to the challenge site. I assume that they have been allowed to present (as they've not returned yet). When they do come back we need to collect their props and move to the building for their main challenge.

They did great this year but did not place. On a side note our region is now the world's largest with more than 300 teams and 2800+ competitors.
It sounds like an adventure in any case, and I hope the kids all had a good time.
