If I have my computer at AIT (for army engineering) I will be cheering on both of my teams.

So to S.P.A.M., S*M*A*S*H and the rest of the competitors, good luck and may the best alliance succeed.

Look forward to going, maybe volunteering!

If there is any teams who want to attend the event but may have issues with transport/travel let me know we are always willing to help teams in need if we can.

Your 2013 panther prowl champions are proud to be returning! However our team number is 1523 not 1525 as currently listed.

Ops!! My bad. It has been fixed.

[MARS_James]

Bumping thread to increase interest.

We have 17 teams signed up right now and 179 would love to have some of the teams who have attended in previous years join us again

[MARS_James]

Looks like we are up to 24 teams (Not sure if they are accepting anymore) but lets have some fun with the currently signed teams:

This Year:
Teams Have a combined record of 381-298-1
The group has 6 regional victories, and 4 regional finalists as well as 14 other regional awards
The teams contain 3 new Dean's List Finalist and 1 Woodie Flowers Finalist

History:
BBQ: 2.0
4 Teams with Einstein Experiance


Not bad for a little offseason

As far as I know at least one team attending is a former world champion in addition to the above listed achievements of pp teams.

Im seeing 23 with 1065's Squirrel missing. Also it may be a good idea to have a team bring their practice bot to fill in for a team that no shows in order to keep a 24+ team event. 2383, 1065, 1523, 180 and 179 have all at one point had practice bots that are not registered for the event.

Also 2383 is the Ninjineers not the Ninjaneers

I'm thinking 1251/179 should try to get the practice bot together for this. Although we probably don't have enough parts.

Make triplets happen!

Also, any thoughts on rule changes? I can't think of a reason why the IRI possession rules make the game worse especially in the case of unintentional posession of an opponents ball.
