Re: Real IRI Rules Changes?

I dunno about the students not wanting their mentors at the controls--after all, it gives the students comedy material for years to come!


@ThundrousPrime: I'm 99% certain that the Coopertition Pyramid was an April Fools' Day hoax. Tradition calls for an extra 5 lb or so, but it's checked mainly by "Oh, hey, that item looks new. Looks less then 5, have fun!" For the way the elims run, typically it's 3 primary and 1 backup--the backup will often only play if one of the others can't, or the strategy isn't working with the 3 primary for some reason. (For instance, in last year's IRI final matches, the two backups combined for one appearance in the entire elims, with 330 showing up in the final match the lone play.) Usually, once you say who's going out for the match, you can't change it just because the other alliance changes. I don't know all the fine details on that; just some recollection from 2003/2004 discussions/implementation, plus IRI happenings.
