 * Check for rule changes
  * Especially for offseason events, it is not rare for there to be minor rule changes to make the game safer or easier to set up. Again, all rule changes are often listed on the competition website, and they are definitely worth investigating before the competition.
+* Determine drivers
+ * This may seen intuitive, but not having a set drive schedule and trying to come up with one on the fly can be very stressful. A couple things to keep in mind:
+  * This is a great time to test out new drivers. The teams at BoB are generally not as strong as the ones faced in a district competition, and since the stakes are lower, letting a couple rookies drive can be extremely beneficial.
+  * That being said, this will be the first competition many rookies attend, and they may be discouraged if we don't perform well. One possibility is to let the main driver drive the first match, get a couple rookies to drive the middle matches, and then let the lead driver step back in to ensure the team advances to eliminations.
+* Organize transportation for all the equipment to the venue
+ * In the past, this has required a trailer, especially for on-season events. Recently, we have foregone bringing the pit hardware, which allows the equipment to be packed into one or two cars. Either method is fine, as long as there is a plan in place so there is no question about who is bringing what.
