I have to be with you on this one, that bugged me when I read it too. It doesn't make sense if you consider acronyms as just a shorter way of writing the same thing. But IRI, while effectively the same thing as the Indiana Robotics Invitational, is a different kind of word/phrase (the acronym is a proper noun while the phrase is a bunch of adjectives describing a regular noun) and deserves to have sentences formed around it, not what it is replacing.

Also, just in case some of you are English majors, I forgot and made some of the English terms up.
