Why not the OFFICIAL Breakaway ball with all the dings, scratches, and scuffs?!! ;)

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

I've got a replica as well (in south africa colors) :D

Although the breakaway one would be cool.

If we were really feeling sadistic the thing to do would be get an official game ball and let the robots have at it for a couple of matches first.

It seems like we'll probably have enough interest for at least a single game, so that's cool.

Doesn't look like anyone from 2337 would be playing (ones who have expressed interest here are Basel A and myself). 2337 won't be getting down there until ~10 PM on Thursday. If you're planning on playing any other time though, I'm sure we'd be able to join in on the fun!

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

I'm sure we can come up with a time that can coordinate everybody who wants to play

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

Is there an IRI schedule posted anywhere? If so, we can look over that, find a time when rounds aren't being played (which would be best), or maybe work around when rounds start/end.

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

I haven't seen one yet, but somebody might have one.

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

What about near the end of matches on Friday during/near the end of matches and dinner and possibly part of the talent show if needed and afterwards?

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

That's also an option, My team hasn't been to IRI while i've been on the team, so I'm not really familiar with the schedule, but any time that we have an hour or so would probably work.

Guys,

Please let the IRI committee check into this.
We cannot have multiple people calling and checking in with the school for this type of activity.

There is a person on the committee (Jeff Smith) who is part of 1024 and LNHS. He knows who to contact and how to coordinate.

And, it is quite likely that the fields will be locked up. They are not intended for public use due to the cost of maintaining them.

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

With more than 80 teams playing matches, dinner, various demos, and the talent show, I can't imagine having that hour available any time before 10pm. :eek:

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

So, I will probably not be at IRI, but I saw this thread and I just had to say this...

If y'all are going to play real soccer, who's going to bring the vuvuzelas?
:)

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

If anyone uses those for team spirit, there will be problems! :p

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

If Vuvuzelas are ever allowed at competitions they should allow MOE sticks to make a return too.

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

Weren't they allowed at the last IRI?

Re: Real soccer at 2010 IRI
 

Briefly. Very briefly.
