Here's the announcement that went out to team leaders from the Head Raider, Mr. C. BE is going to be so much fun!!!

Dear teams-
Just a few points of news regarding the event in 3 weeks..
1. We will be using 4 team alliances for the elimination rounds. The event team decided that we wanted to have more teams actually a part of the eliminations so 4 teams per alliance will allow 32 of the 38 teams to play. Picking will be a modified serpentine draft 1-8-8-1-1-8 . All teams in each alliance are guaranteed at least one round in the eliminations (meaning that they must play at least one QF round).
2. We are playing with the 2007 season robot controller radios. As the veterans know, IFI changed the radios last season and the older radios aren’t compatible with the system. We have 5 pre-rookie teams playing with borrowed older robots so I am asking all the veteran teams either A. please ask around and see if we can borrow robot controllers for the pre-rookies for the day or B. bring any extras if you have them. I plan on asking for loaners at DoD this weekend so it may be a moot point. If we are short I am sure we can switch off with radios for the Seeding rounds and there should be surplus for the Elims from the teams that are benched.
3. What to bring for the day: safety glasses (extras too), power strips, tether cables, your repair tools. Each team will get an 8 ft table and power source in your pit area. Teams with pre-rookies will be placed together. 38 teams will mean the pits will be a little tighter than other years (max 34 before) but we will have plenty of room. Power may be piped in from rooms down the hall….
4. Stuff for the kids- we have a raffle drawing with a variety of prizes including a Wii system, the Evil Sundae Contest will occur right after lunch. VEX – FTC will be doing an exhibition at the event.
5. Timeline and rounds- as the timeline is scripted we should have 6 rounds of seeding per team. I’ve adhered to the timeline on the event page fairly closely.
That’s the latest
We’re working hard to get ready for this grand event!! http://be.raiderrobotix.org/
