3683
3756
3951
4093
4124

There are no further rule changes to the game other than what has been posted on the website, and the Alliance Selection process will be the same as the standard FIRST procedure (24 teams will play in the eliminations rounds).

We will have real-time scoring, but penalties will be added after the match has ended. To keep a faster turn-around time, penalties will not be discussed after the match.

For our fun events, Punkin’ Chunkin will return, and we are still hoping to keep Mentor Matches! As usual, you will also have the opportunity to pie you favorite FIRSTer in the face during the annual “Pie-in-the-Eye.” During the event, we are also holding a Mega Drive (specifics to come later)!

It should be a great time for all!

As always, check out the Ruckus Facebook and Website. Volunteer Registration is still open!

Rumour has it there is a mentor or two that might be interested in piloting the EdgeWalker...

And Team 48 is barred from winning any more Andy-Mark wormboxes.

Who do I talk to to sign up for Pie-in-the-Eye? I doubt I'll pull in as many tickets as last year (since basically all of 1126 pooled to try and pie me), but it was still fun and I'd love to do it again!

Pardon me while I go jump for joy. Glad to see this move!

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 
I've got a suggestion to raise additional funding for Pie in the Eye.

If a recipient of the pie-ing is willing (I am), I was wondering if the Ruckus staff could give people two parallel pathways to pie retribution against that person:

1. The usual way - sell tickets to be put in a bucket. One is drawn randomly and that person gets to pie the recipient.

2. The IRI way - have a silent auction which gives people full control over whether they win a chance to pie or not - lay out a bidding sheet where people openly bid for the right to pie someone.

Both pies could be applied to the recipient simultaneously to avoid spending much extra time per pie recipient.

I am willing to get face-pied for charity as well.

I can only imagine the lengths 174 students would go though to pie me.

EDIT: Dang it Patrick, you took the 174th post. I'll take 174th reply though...

Please remember, NY is a big state. 229 and 4124 are 'in-state' and it is a 4+ hour drive for us... :)

THIS. I'll take six matches if it means I can get the students home before it gets too late for them.

Seriously -- pie in the hair is NO FUN.

Speaking of which, I would be HAPPY as always to get pied for charity, (well, after there's pie in my hair I might not be so happy...) and I'm fine with Travis' idea regarding auctioning. A bidding war between friends is perfect if it helps get more money. :)

The Rah Cha Cha Ruckus needs you!
We have 24 volunteers signed up and have needs in many positions (except ref). If you want to participate in the funnest off season around and get a sweet t-shirt (designed by me ;P ) plus free lunch sign on up. You won't be sorry you did.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 
At this time, we would like to announce that team registration for the 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus is now closed. Thank you to all teams for your interest!

Second, volunteer registrastion is still open! Help make this year even better! It is a fun event, and you will get a cool t-shirt (designed by the one and only Koko Ed!) and a free lunch! There are still many positions open (except ref) and you are pretty much guaranteed to have a great time!
