Personally, I went to school without a debate. This is a very unusual day for an event like this though.
Actually, last year's big 36 hour event started mid-day Sunday, the day before the actual GMS anniversary, and then lasted for the full 24 hours on the 11th. Considering GMS loves to create such massive 2x events on their anniversary, which coincides with AP exam weeks and finals weeks for most colleges/universities, I would seriously hope no one skips and kills their chances at better grades on either.
And regardless, thirding Khoi's post. I will say I played hookey once three years ago to finish a project, and ended up playing Maple all day, and I can recall the stress and guilt like no other. Never. again.
