Re: Rank The Announcers

Which ever field Ron is announcing. He's the best announcer around.

They just replaced the guy in Galileo, thank God. The replacement is pretty good. The original guy was awful.

Edit: Ron's on Archemedies, buy only announcing teams not play by play.

Re: Rank The Announcers

I think the anouncers on Curie are great. They have the colored hair. They are doing a great job at getting the crowd pumped, putting out a lot of energy to get the job done. They also had the crowd sing Happy Birthday to Andy Grady

Second favorite? Whichever field Blair is on, he's awesome. I think it's Archimedes.

Re: Rank The Announcers

Archimedes is the best. He isnt annoying, but yet isnt too quiet.

Re: Rank The Announcers

The Newton announcer...

Yeah, he did repeat some things a lot. But, he was energetic and understood the game, so he gets some points there. Some of the annoucers sounded like Mr. Rogers on Valium, and at least to me seemed like they might not know quite what was going on.

Although if I had to hear about one more 5 point possibilty...

Re: Rank The Announcers

Mark Leon as MC rules all the way......and for announcer, the Newton man was hilarious. Thanks for making the game fun to watch!

Re: Rank The Announcers

Ok granted the announcer on Newton ("Sir Charles") might sound repititive and annoying to people watching a webcast not in competition, but for those of us who were there know how much that guy rocked. He got our whole division cheering and laughing with phrases like "going for the hookup baby,", "lets get it certified," and other funny phrases. He even went as far as to run through all the stands and everyone gave him giant hugs and lifted him up. In my opinion he was one of the best announcers for any field I've ever been on.

I was at the competition and I found his pattern of speech really annoying and my team agrees with me. I liked the announcer at Archimedes, though I only heard him for a little while.

Re: Rank The Announcers

It's all about Newton, baby. I loved that guy, to be able to keep up that level of energy for 3 days is a wonder in itself...Given he was repetitive, but he knew how to work the crowd...and from what I could hear, Newton was the loudest field out there

Yah I have to agree there.......He is definately the BEST MC out there. As for announcers, Steve Warren (Curie Announcer with Crazy Hair) is great! He's pretty cool too!
