Re: 2017 Chairman's Hall of Fame Predictions
I was aware they won it at worlds, but didn't know that was before they split it up into divisions. Impressive. I did not mean to sound like I was talking bad about 836 or 1629, they are actually two...

Re: 2017 Chairman's Hall of Fame Predictions
You guys and 836 are definitely strong contenders for CHS DCMPs, but I don't know about worlds. I mean, what teams have won chairmans at worlds following not winning it at either their DCMP or a...

Re: Utilizing breaks between matches.

Re: Utilizing breaks between matches.
I think a short video and live interviewer combo could solve the variable intermissions problem at events where you can't do an analysis desk.
Analysis desks might be the ultimate solution, but I...

Utilizing breaks between matches.
One of the complaints I get from non-first people and sometimes rookies when they watch events is the lack of things happening in between matches. There is normally just music playing, and an...

Re: Rumors ANYONE?
The hint video last year was released on October 14th. Based on the reasoning given for releasing a teaser instead of a hint and the game's name this early opposed to not at all in previous years, I...

Re: Error bar of OPR in Stronghold
