[quote=RoboMom]Actually I have been meaning to ask this but according to a trivia slideshow that was run at the BAE regional there was at one time Nationals and Championships run at the same time.

[quote=Adam Y.]Not possible. They are one and the same, the name just changed because of our Canadian and Brazilian friends :)

Unlike my mother, I have become accustomed to CD April Fool's pranks, and therefore when she came up and told me about it this morning, I knew that it was a joke, although it definitely isn't as good as the Championship Cancellation thread, it was an interesting idea.

Today at the so cal regional Dave Lavery pulled a double play... might have gotten in from your topic. Good job!

Re: Team Update #19 - "Double Play"
 

Yeah that was pretty funny, lots of people caught on fast though :)

Re: Team Update #19 - "Double Play"
 

I have to say this is the best one I've ever seen. Actually had me convinced for over a day before I checked back.

Re: Team Update #19 - "Double Play"
 

maybe that's because we all read it here first!

[quote=mtaman02]Both of those are right except for Puerto Rico. They're a US Territory last time I checked, unless April Fool's Day is their independence day. :D

Re: Team Update #19 - "Double Play"
 

HA HA, excellent April Fool's joke. :D

The file isn't up anymore, if it ever was.

That said, I love the title of the error page that shows up - "300 Multiple Choices." Awesome. :)

Nothing beat the COlts buying FIRST.
Man that one freaked me out!

Re: Team Update #19 - "Double Play"
 

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States! (lo siento, soy Boricua and i gotta represent :p) Speaking of other countries and whatnot, personally i like the ring of "The Championship Event" as opposed to "Nationals" or "Internationals" or "Worlds".. although the last two do give a somewhat better perspective on just how large FIRST has grown. :cool:

and yeah, this was a great joke... my brother called me up from school early in the morning (i'm on spring break and wasnt exactly thrilled about the wake-up call) saying "READ UPDATE 19!! ITS SO EVIL I CANT BELIEVE THEY DID THAT!!" and i passed up on him telling me, saying i'd rather read it myself, and immidiately went to the FIRST site, and tada! no Update 19 existed. oh well... perhaps they should have left it up a little longer, i would have gotten a good April Fool's Day kick out of it. :)

[quote=mtaman02]At the time "Nationals" was changed to "The Championship Event" I'm 99.9% sure the only foreign countries involved in FIRST were Brazil and Canada.
