2016 Finger Lakes Regional
 

I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of familiar teams there! https://www.thebluealliance.com/event/2016nyro
Many have already done well at other regionals, so this should be a very exciting competition!

Best of luck to all the teams!

Bummer. Your energy last year helped make it great!

Re: 2016 Finger Lakes Regional
 

This year's emcee is new to FLR but fresh from Tech Valley this past weekend and also trained by Eric himself! But yes, he will be missed. #babies

I think a crazy stat for this event is 20% of teams competing this weekend already have bids to Champs.

Re: 2016 Finger Lakes Regional
 

Team 2383: The Ninjineers are excited to have come all the way up to Rochester for a great event! Can't wait to meet the teams!

Re: 2016 Finger Lakes Regional
 

Team 1126 is looking forward to seeing all of our fellow NY teams as well as those from out of state: 2010, and 2383! Good luck to all!

Gonna miss you.

Re: 2016 Finger Lakes Regional
 

I see that 5030 won at NYC and that 1559 & 1126 won at Pittsburgh. (Congrats to all) As that is far below 20% of the teams attending, what other teams already have a bid to Champs?

Teams 20 and 191 are both Legacy teams and get a trip to champs every year. 1511 and 3015 won chairman's at GTCR and Greater Pittsburgh respectively, 1665 and 5254 both got wildcards at Tech Valley, and 2383 got a wildcard at Orlando. That totals at 10/49, or a whopping 20%. Quite the impressive regional stat. Looking forward to competing this weekend!

Edit: Double Sniped :o

Re: 2016 Finger Lakes Regional
 

Once again, FLR is posing to be one of the most competitive regional with over 20% of teams attending already qualifying for champs.

Does anyone know of other regionals this week, or later in the season that have >20% of teams pre qualified going into the event?

Re: 2016 Finger Lakes Regional
 

Woot woot.

Re: 2016 Finger Lakes Regional
 

When one of the regional finalists in NYC already had a bid, it trickled down to our alliance captain team, who got to go. Is there a similar trickle down here, say if 2 qualifying teams are on the winning alliance (and that could certainly happen), do the 1st 2 teams on the runner-up alliance get bids?
