Notes: Year 2017 we did not participate. Year 2020 was cancelled by Covid. Years 2021 and 2022 were held on Zoom.
Travel Notes: Teams should plan on flying out one day prior to the competition and potentially one day after the competition has ended depending on the time the event (including the awards ceremony) is scheduled to be over. There are flight restrictions in and around D.C. in regard to their airports. We always plan for the win and you will be booked for the full length of a winning stay.
