: some predictions...

: 1) not 1 match will go for the entire 2 minutes

At nationals, we might just see this....early at regionals, however, I have a feeling that people will still be getting used to the game, so you'll see more people going the full length.

: 2) there will never be a perfect score

I'd definitely agree with this one...as I posted elsewhere, Eric's not expecting it either...

: 3) there will never be a zero score

We'll have to see on this one, i dunno...

: 4) divisions @ nationals will be a big success

I'd say so...

: 5) scores of 500 will be routine

I haven't taken much time to figure out scoring yet...still too early to post one way or the other on this one...

: 6) 4 vs 0 will not be as bad as it seems (i hope)

I'd say so...I got to thinking about this last night...you're still competing against people, just not at the same time!

: 7) this years nat'l champ alliance will have at least 3 members whom have never won nat'l championships before

Thought about this one too...who sees the elim alliances consisting of 4+ specialized machines, and not any "do-alls"...

: 8) less than 10% of teams will be able to climb over 18" bar

No comment...except that I'm already working on this problem...

: 9) george w will be in attendence for the finals

Who knows on this one...
