Re: paper: MARC 2011 Rule Changes

First off, there are several instances were the best robot/s are not the #1/2 seeds. A lot of this falls into the luck of match scheduling. Typically in these cases, the later draftees (2-8) turndown the invite to pick there own alliance. The MARC TEAMS might not have the glory of all those IRI teams but we always compete at the highest level. Now with the reduction of the minibot race points, more teams are evenly matched with the so-called elite teams.

But some information to support our cause:
41 of 48 teams from Michigan: 6 of top 10 teams
13 of top 20
18 of top 30
25 of top 40
Michigan District titles: 13
District Finalist: 15
MSC Champs: 3
MSC Finalist: 2
Regional Finalist: 1
World Divisional Title: 1
World Divisional Finalist: 1

Like I said, I believe this is going to be a very competitive event. Teams just have to do a little more scouting to compete.
