Will there be an official Blue Alliance listing?

Also, I'm definitely going pick up a t-shirt! :)

Thanks,
Drew

I'll have to ask next committee meeting about that but it has been listed previous years.

Is there a standard way to do playoffs with < 24 teams? It would be a little sad if there were no quarter finals while 6 teams sat out. Maybe you could do an uneven bracket, with the first and second seed alliance earning automatic advancement to semi finals? That way 18 teams could play instead of just 12. Thoughts? (I'm not passionate about the idea, just spitballing).

I dont think Ruckus has ever had a problem with attendance. It's been around 40 teams each year,. Considering the quality of the event, I'd be shocked if that changes anytime soon.

Once September hits I suspect we'll easily hit 24 teams. There's a lot of local veterans who haven't signed up yet. I have reliable sources (one is a Ruckus committee member) who have told me that 639 and 229 intend to show up. We're more concerned about getting 30 to 36 teams.

Not sure who your reliable source from 229 is, but we haven't planned on going to Ruckus this year.

One of our committee members has one of your students as an intern who said the team was going to sign up.

Still not sure who your source is but the student and mentor leadership have only seriously discussed going to the Tech Valley offseason event.

I guess the intern assumed the team was going.
