Re: Ramp Riot 2008: The Official Thread

Congratulations to all the teams who attended Ramp Riot 2008! You had some amazing matches out there and the energy you mustered on a rainy Saturday in November was flat out incredible.

I was the head referee today, and I fully expect that some people are not going to be happy about some of the calls, scores, and results of today's competition. Let me just say that without real-time scoring handhelds, Overdrive is probably the hardest game to officiate that FIRST has ever made. And with real-time (rather than static, end-of-game) scoring, discrepancies occur. Still, we did our best out there, and it was a pleasure to be a part of Ramp Riot 2008.

Working with the incredible group of mentors, students, and volunteers at these events is truly inspirational - thank you to all who participated in making Ramp Riot one of the premier offseason competitions in the nation!
