Thanks to everyone who responded to my question with valuable information.
NxtGenRobo is looking forward to spending both days.
Thx

All I can say is: ditto. Go have fun,
experiencem and celebrate..
To answer the "stay the night" question, I don't
know what most teams are doing but if you live a ways away, I'd suggest spending
both nights (Friday and Saturday) in Harisonburg. It is a great time
and the team will be rested for both days. We'll be staying both
nights.

>The two day commitment is so worth the
effort. Based on last year: Project and Core Values judging is on the
first day. They also run sessions for the kids that can sign up for for part
of the morning. The kids sign up in advanced but it is first come first
serve. They transport the kids to the sessions and bring them back to
you. If memory serves me, this was the morning of Saturday. Then project
and core values judging.

that).

We are going again this year and the decision to go was instantaneous.

>>One more email from a newbie
coach (FBI #10032) who is about to venture to the Championship Tournament
for the first time. Asking families and students to commit two whole
days of their weekend is tough, especially when you don't know the specifics
of the tournament.
>>
>>How does the Championship Tournament (CT) compare
with the Regional Tournament (RT)? If the first day only involves
judging, will it be a short day? If it takes two days, are the judging
sessions twice as long? Are there extra events at the CT that were at
the RT? Do most teams stay the night or do they drive home and come
back?
