I walk the line of student captains prior to selections and ask them to not "Graciously Accept" but to write a haiku or something more creative. This year at Chesapeake was my first event in about 20 since I started doing this that I got *ZERO* "Graciously Accepts". :D :D :D

Here you go - the 'Phone call' starts about the 25 sec mark...

At our state competition, someone pretended to get a phone call and called up the team they wanted to invite, that was pretty cool. These are super great though, I can't wait for people to get even more creative.

I was really impressed that 3018's team rep was on the ball and had a clever answer. . . That was a really fun alliance selection.

With this year's Monty Madness being his last competition as a student, FRC Team 1676's graduating 2-year Co-CEO, Jeff Chen, wanted to top his pizza-box Alliance Selections acceptance from last year.

What he ended up doing this time was, well, certainly memorable. ;)

How many other people can say they've been shirtless on an FRC field before? :rolleyes:

I saw the thread title and immediately thought of Monty Madness 2014. Best I have every seen personally! Definitely won Andy's most creative acceptance challenge if you ask me.

Re: Best Alliance Selections Acceptance Ever

I was in the pit at the during monty madness alliance selections. I distinctly remember a team member running into the pit and saying "Someone just tore their shirt off to accept! It was so cool! oh yeah and we got picked for first seed with Nemesis and Ms. Daisy."
^slightly exaggerated.

Probably my favourite just because I was there :D

At IRI last year, when 148 was picked, their guy came out and yelled "cann I get a hell yeah?" which was immediately followed by most of the people in the stands yelling "hell yeah!"
