    • Bad timing - 2 weeks after Penn, mentorship not yet totally running, also midterms week

    • $35 per ticket, kinda expensive, 4 hour bus ride

    • Already have Boston comp, so no need to go twice

    • Newcomers only have 1 dance per style, forces double registration, increasing team reg costs, also not good that they have to compete with bronze people

    • Invigilation issues - have had issues with being “timed out” of bronze despite only competing once before at BADC; people pointed out that there seems to be bias towards letting Boston area open people’s points slide

    • More time before Rutgers, allowing more time to finalize mentorship and partnerships
