2011 Connect A Million Minds Invitational

[PayneTrain]

Feeling a little crazy and our team is looking into all three Midwest Regionals because, let's face it, the East Coast teams keep beating us up, so we're looking for Midwest teams to beat us up in their own special way.

Are distanced teams allowed in, or just Ohio teams?

[Kautz]

All Teams weclome

We will play nice.

Does the planning committee know how the alliance selections/elimination rounds will be structured? Will everyone make the playoffs, or will a smaller number of alliances be chosen?

Travis, assuming that we get a full 24 teams (which we are hopeful of) we are planning on having everyone making it to elimination. If we have less we are going to decrease the number. Either four alliances or possibly a set-up where the top seeded alliances get a bye into the semi-finals.

[Kautz]

We have 7 opening left.

Should be a great event.

Is there going to be a webcast? I'm assuming not, but since I can't go, it would be nice.
