Hello World! As its name suggests, FLL ‘Regional’ is going to be grand. However, we didn’t realise what a coincidence was waiting for us on site last Saturday.
On that morning as soon as we arrived at FLL Macquarie Park Regional, we unexpectedly discovered that one of our team members came and participated in the same competition on behalf of his school team instead without any notice. To avoid any conflict of interests, our coach consulted the FLL adjudicators straight away, and we were later informed that there should be no concern as long as this team member stays and competes for one team ONLY during the day.
Frankly speaking, it frightened us at first thought, because we didn’t want to get disqualified from FLL due to ‘doubles’ between teams. So, what is the main takeaway for us? Don’t panic and always seek clarification from FLL officials in case of any quandary.
