Email blast sent out to all participants:

It's hard to believe the CAGE Match is only a week away. I thought I'd share some news with you all to help make the event run smoothly.

1. DIRECTIONS

From 465 on the South side of Indy:
Take Exit 2B (US31 S) about 2 miles; turn Left on Banta Road (there's a stoplight there), Southport High School will be on your right maybe a quarter mile down. The Fieldhouse is on the East side of the building; there are entrances on the North and South ends. Team unloading will be on the South end; spectators will come in the North side. Both entrances have large glass atria; the South side has double-doors for large objects. We will have registration set up facing the South doors. We should have signs in the parking lot, as well as volunteers to help guide traffic.

2. CONCESSIONS

We will offer donuts, juice, and coffee in the morning, and Chick-Fil-A sandwiches, Papa John's pizza, and cookies from Max & Erma's and Paradise Bakery throughout the day. The concessions are located on the higher level of the Fieldhouse.

3. CHARITIES

As you know, the event is supporting the Ronald McDonald House and the Horizon House. Show your support for these wonderful institutions by bringing suitable donations (a list can be found on the cagematch.wordpress.com website).

4. SCHEDULE

We will start registering teams at 7 on Saturday morning. A complete schedule can be found on the cagematch.wordpress.com website.

5. MASTER OF CEREMONIES

The person who was to be the Master of Ceremonies had to back out at the last minute. If anybody on your team is interested in being the emcee or play-by-play, please let me know.

6. GAME RULES

We will be playing by the official FRC Overdrive rules with the IRI tweaks. Final alliance pairings will be non-serpentine, with 3 teams per alliance. Stuart Bloom will serve as head referee; he can answer any specific questions you may have.

All of us from the CyberCards and Digital Goats are looking forward to an exciting and fun event. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or concerns. Thank you all for your support, and we'll see you next week!
