Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

Enough of this idle, speculative chit-chat! How about a for-real match??

Let's do the 1st annual East vs. West Shootout.

The top three teams from the East (67, 217, 248) vs. the top three from the West (85, 1918, 904).

Perhaps we could do this during an open practice match on Thursday (or at the end of the day on Friday?).

One round - for bragging rights.

(And I hope we don't have to drag those dang Martians into this. If we beat up on them, one of their mentors is likely to go crying to his mother and she'll give me a time out!)

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

I'm not good with team numbers,could you tell me who is 248,or is that the invisible team they get so the west might have a chance.:)

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

I was about to post the same thing, but then I realized he might be talking about 245... (don't know for sure)

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

I am assuming he meant 245...based on the Overall Rankings.

67, 217, 245 v. 1918, 85, 904...

I cannot comment on 85 or 904, but from what I have been told I would expect an incredible challenge.

If it can be arranged in a practice match this Thursday, I know 67 would be ready. :ahh:

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

Yeah, OK. I'm a doofus. I meant 245. And no, they're not the invisible team that the west needs in order to win...

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

Wayne--Looks like we will be there based on the number of open spaces--keep us in that top group--would like to see West Michigan winners go againts Troy winners

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

Does anyone know why it seems to take so long to get the top list final?
I see one team in but what about the rest of the spots?

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

We will know tomorrow

They will be opening up the remaining spaces tomorrow so we should know who is all in by tomorrow night.

Hope to be at state--

Lets set up a match on Thursday- West Michigan vs Troy winners

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

I could go for WMD vs Troy, too. Especially this year. The only problem with that as an annual "tradition" is that it wouldn't always be east vs west teams. I think that if this thing included only the southeast MI counties as the "east" and the remainder of the state as the "west" (the "rest"?), then the east would still have a lot more teams to draw from. We can't forget the other regional winners either.

I don't know if they even have unscheduled field time. I hope there is so we can get something like this going. It could be a great "warm up" for the event.

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

How about

TC vs Detroit
WM vs Troy

These would be a great warm ups

I was sorry to hear 141 is not coming to state

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

what im lokoing foreward too is having all 8 alliances being scoring robots! like, all 8 will be heavy contenders i think, any one of them will be the potential winners, unlike other tourneys were the best 2 robots were on one team and all others only had maybe 2 that scored to compete against. should be really exciting.

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

I think that this regional is gonna be about some serious d, and I am pretty pumped to deliver that, along with dumping on some people...

Re: Michigan State Championship 2009
 

Lets do it!!!

It would be like North vs South, and East vs West. Although I wonder if it's possible to arrange that... (can we get a FiM official to read this and make this possible :) )

Plus how would you choose what teams would play? Top seeded teams from those events, or the teams who attended those events with the highest rankings?

And did you say d? I know quite a few teams who would love to play that! *cough*201*cough*
