Do you see elimination alliances that would walk thru any regional bracket and say, "They might make the semi-final with some luck."

Do you get alliances with 5 appearances on Einstien it 2 years.

Do you get 2 alliances with 3 2007 division champs each knocked out before the finals.

Re: Only At the IRI
 

Respect is something we see quite often and almost take for granted in FIRST. Yet rising up beyond the excellence, the fun, and all out effort (and maybe because of it) the respect shown to/between participants, referees, volunteers, friends, supporters, really, really impressed me.

One obvious example - Andy Baker and his reffing crew's super-human efforts to get the calls right. Now that's respect.
