Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008

Hey, regarding your question.

I'd have to say that getting chosen is an assortment of several factors. First of all, looking good is very important. My team, 115, was reliable throughout the matches. We may have lost a few, yet if we cap 6 laps and knock off 2 of the opposing balls it doesn't make us look bad at all. (this is assuming that the alliance captains don't only rely on rank to choose their alliance).

Also, I think there is a fair bit of PR/advertising to do with getting you chosen.

Anyways, hope this helps a bit. As I said earlier, I only do pit work so I don't really to PR/scouting.

Congratulations to both the winners and the finalists at SVR. 192, 8 and 2024 who put up an excellent show of gracious professionalism.


(haha here's a fun fact: 5 years ago poofs+115 won SVR. I guess we've come full circle.)
