Re: CAGE Match 2011

E-Mail Blast sent out to teams 10/5:

There are 24 teams registered for the 2011 CAGE Match. That means we’ll have eight full alliances in the elimination rounds. That’s awesome!

I’d like to remind you of a few things and let you know about the other attending teams.

1. Schedule: Doors open Saturday at 7a, we hope to be cleared out by 7p. The full schedule can be found on the website. Setup will be Friday afternoon, starting at 3p; if you’re in the Indianapolis area and would like to set up early (5p-ish), let me know. We’d like to have some robots on hand to test the field as well – just drop me a note.

2. Concessions: We will have a concession stand comparable to that of years past. We strive to present a good selection of choices at fair prices. We thank you for patronizing our concessions.

3. Volunteers: The key to any great event is a strong group of volunteers. This year we’re doing our volunteer signups through the website. Possible positions include Scoring, Field Reset, Refereeing, and Queuing.

4. Rules: We will be playing the IRI rules, with a serpentine draft. Stu Bloom is our illustrious head ref; he can answer any questions you may have.

5. Registration: Remember that part of the registration is items to be given to the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana. One of the awards presented is based on the number of items each team brings.

6. Blood Drive: We will have a bloodmobile on site in the morning. Be ready to roll up your sleeve!

7. Scholarship: We are honored to offer the Art Anderson scholarship to current seniors. Please remind all team seniors to check out this opportunity.

8. Silent Auction: The scholarship is funded by the Silent Auction. We’re doing online donations; simply tell us what you intend to bring to the CAGE Match, and we’ll have the bidding papers ready. Please have all items registered by 10/10.

9. Carved Pumpkin Contest: Bring in a pre-carved pumpkin to compete against other teams. There will be a competition to find out which team brought the best pumpkin; voting is done via money wars. All proceeds from this will fund the scholarship.
