BattleCry@WPI 7!

[Ken Stafford]

Mark your calendars for the largest BattleCry ever. This 48-team, 2-day event at WPI is on 23-24 Jun! Open registration starts at 0800EDT on 2 May. DON'T DELAY--we have filled to capacity within hours in year's past. Your $350 registration gets you all the normal BC goodies: 10 free 5-color t-shirts, 10 free Fri barbecue meals, 10 free Fri evening social tickets (with free bowling, games, ice-cream, etc), 10 free Sat lunches, etc etc. It also gets you into both the Fri and Sat special games and guarantees your entry into the elimination rounds (16 final alliances). As usual, low cost on-campus dorm space is available for over-nighting as well as reduced fare local hotels. Expect some special guest appearances as well as a rather interesting new potential for scoring smack in the middle of the playing field... More info can be found at www.wpi.edu/+battlecry. Volunteers should contact us at battlecry@wpi.edu.

interesting...I know Battlecry always offers a twist on the games, but I wonder what it could be this year...

team 177 will hopefully be attending again. This is always our favorite off season event.

However, I have noticed that these dates do conflict with a lot of graduations this year. I know the SWHS graduation is tentative for June 21st, but that's cutting it pretty close...

166 will most likely be there. Unless something random happens and... I don't even know what would keep us from coming.

[artdutra04]

I know I will definitely be there, and team 228 should be there. If there is only one off-season competition that I could go to all year, it would be Battlecry. Battlecry is the IRI of the [north]east.

I'm going to work to convince 811 to register... But I really don't think it'll take much convincing!

I think we can say goodbye to the backbot.

Think about it: the role of the backbot is offense. Why not take away the backbot rule to allow for more defense? After all, this is BattleCry we're talking about.

Removeing the backbot would be the greatest thing. it could become very interesting to watch if the whole match was 3 v 3. Cant wait to see what the guys @ wpi have in store for us. See every1 there
