Does anyone else have graduation on the friday before HSNCT? how are they dealing with it?

Depends on how close/far away you are.

Well, there is PACE NSC too... but I guess that depends. We'll always have scheduling conflicts.

Chattahoochee has its graduation on that Saturday, unfortunately. We are dealing with it by... not going to the tournament (in all likelihood). It was on our graduation day last year as well but we only had one senior on the team and he managed to get out of going. This year we have multiple seniors whose parents are more difficult to convince...

Two years ago, the HSNCT coincided with Charter's graduation. Most of our senior players just decided to skip graduation. This year, it coincides w/ PACE's NSC, but we're pretty sure that Raja (our A-team's consistent Senior member) will still be attending.

We have that exact problem. We plan on getting our diplomas, throwing our hats, then getting on a van to Chicago. This, unfortunately, will give us a what little sleep we get on said van, if we get any at all, before playing that day.

Quiz bowl sucks in Alabama.

Our graduation coincides with PACE. Although we only have one senior whom we'd consider for attendance, the school band is forced to play at the ceremony, thus knocking me and half the real A team out.

New Trier's graduation is the Sunday that's the second day of the PACE NSC (June 1), so we won't be going. Two or three of the five we'd take are seniors.

Our prom is the Friday before HSNCT, so we'll be flying in the early morning day of, on essentially no sleep.

Wheaton North has commencement the Saturday afternoon of HSNCT.

I don't think we're going to go there again. We might do PACE.

Whitman's Prom is the night before PACE, but we're only 30 minutes away, so we'll probably end up going straight from post-prom... tuxes and everything

That wasn't just NCT. That was everywhere Rockville went in 1999.
