Re: 2019 National Tournament: Cornell University
So, since the first events are 7-8 am, I guess the flying practice will be at 5 or 6 am? My flying team is in an event that first hour.
They used to have testing Friday. That was a lot simpler, and did not require the kids to get up so early.

Re: 2019 National Tournament: Cornell University
Totally agree. Even harder for kids from west coast. They have a time difference of 3 hours, which means kids need to get up 2 or 3 am their west coast time.coachchuckaahs wrote:So, since the first events are 7-8 am, I guess the flying practice will be at 5 or 6 am?

Re: 2019 National Tournament: Cornell University
I've never been to nationals before. But in general terms, does anybody know how hard is it compared to state competitions? Like if you get first at state for an event how many places do you go down in nationals from past experience?

Re: 2019 National Tournament: Cornell University
It really depends on a lot of factors but the biggest is probably how competitive your state is. Nationals will be much more difficult though in all likelyhood
