Re: Divisional Preview
 

Well thank you for making me anxious for no reason.

I was perfectly fine sitting at my desk at work oblivious to what division I was in.

/sigh

Back to work... Someone wake me when the actual ones are posted!

Re: Divisional Preview
 

Haha, same here. Back to my paper/school then work!

Oh well, that was fun...

Re: Divisional Preview
 

FIRST has gotten upset about hijacked links in the past. They just don't know how to hide from the Google spiders for long. Anyways it doesn't mean anything until it's officially, which will probably be 5pm like when they usually let it out.

Re: Divisional Preview
 

Yes, thank you for the excitement. Where did y'all find this? Just out of curiosity. Maybe I shouldn't ask, my post my get deleted or censored. lol jk

375 post, yay Robotic Plague!

It may be sooner then you think...

Re: Divisional Preview
 

Hopefully the division selection gods will keep 1114 away from 469, for the sake of exciting matches on Einstein...

Re: Divisional Preview
 

Sooner? I'll take that. Are you talking about 5 pm today? They used to release it at like 12:30 in the afternoon on a Wednesday. Just some past experience. Although I don't know why we are all getting worked up over this. lol :)

Re: Divisional Preview
 

My question is, so what if we found it earlier than they wanted to "officially" release it. Since it was found, why not just release it? Now I'm expecting them to take it back and generate a new set of divisions, because of the leak. I don't understand why knowing what the divisions are matters when leaked a day or two early. It doesnt change any of the strategy, it just lets you know what strategies you might have to employ.

Re: Divisional Preview
 

I totally agree with you, knowing today makes no difference that knowing yesterday, or the day after. The only think that makes it having a difference is the time frame for scouting before hand. All I have to say is Good Luck to all teams. :)

Re: Divisional Preview
 

I posted this in the rumor mill because i fully expected them to change. This was meant to be a fun way to build excitment before the official release. Nothing unethical was meant by it and dont regard any of this as official. So much for a fun rumor thread...

Re: Divisional Preview
 

I had fun. :)

Re: Divisional Preview
 

It was fun, especially when you are searching around different sites to find it!

I think when you and Alex responded you guys seemed to give it more of an "official" sense which drove people up the wall thinking that FIRST had hidden it for us and you two knew where it was!

If I was you, I would have predicted where the top 10 teams in each division would have gone and watched to see if they would have come true! :D

Thanks for posting it gave me something to laugh about today!

Re: Divisional Preview
 

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Just take it easy guys. Don't make FIRST's job any harder than it is - imagine what happens around Championship payment deadline time (i.e. now). They're working very hard to handle a number of teams' needs right now. People may be dropping - some may be adding in at the last minute. I imagine it's rather hectic.

Patience is a virtue. Let them release their divisions on their own terms.

I'd wait until the team list links for each division show up on this page:

Re: Divisional Preview
 

FIRST's test event schedule page is showing Newton right now... which matches up with Justin's original preview of 16 and 67...

Re: Divisional Preview
 

But which doesn't match up with Alex Cormier's preview of 399 being in Galileo. These clearly are still very much in flux.
