Re: 2011 Events.
If I remember the concept of SUMO right I feel that it will just be won by a team that has a combination of luck and the most money.

Re: Elevated Bridge 2009
3 days? that's nothing, you can talk about cramming when you start your first of four building events at 9 o'clock the night before a invite/regionals/state. Or when you are building a tower in your hotel room the night before state.
