Re: Best FIRST Game EVER?

Re: Split Champs in '17 and '18
I would absolutely be in favor of this, however there are a few logistical issues that might be difficult to overcome.
Airfare for the winning team from the first half would be a nightmare. Teams...

Re: 2016 MAR Season
Last year several teams declined to the point where there were 55 slots available but only 53 teams competed.
A combination of the short notice, the back to back weeks, the registration cost, or...

Re: 2016 MAR Season
This has been the subject of some discussion going back and forth for all volunteers. AFAIK the schedule hasn't been updated and will come out soon?

Re: Top Chairman's Award Teams in your State
From New Jersey I'd say the perennial favorites to win Chairman's in any given year are
11
75
1676
The three of them have programs that are recognized far beyond our state's borders and I feel...

Re: 2015 Curie Divison
I'm NOT condoning purposefully sandbagging a team (or teams) but those 40 points are a big deal.
Techfire 225 in MAR was consistently 20 points or so above the rest of the pack when it came to...

Re: 2015 Curie Divison
Technically only one has to finish 1st. If 1114 finishes 1st and 148 finishes 75th then 1114 can still pick 148. However if anyone else finishes 1st they can break up the alliance.
Or you...

Re: 2015 Champs Discussion
I think with 8 divisions there will be a lot more parity than in years past. Plus this game has a theoretical limit to it (x amount of totes and however man RCs and alliance can grab).
Also if you...

Give a plus one to Jeff. He's great as a coach behind the glass but when he's behind the mic he's even better.
Another one to watch out for is Tom Wexler. He did half the play by play at...
