Cool, if anyone is interested in total accuracy of the list we're bringing 3 robots total.

Also, surprising to not see 294 going.

Last time I talked to somebody on the team they were planning to come. But that was a while ago. 330 didn't sign up until this weekend and won't have their first team meeting until tomorrow night.

Which is a long way of saying teams are still getting their acts together, even World Champs have trouble with this.

So just for clarification what are the rules at the Fall Classic? is it going to be the same as the IRI rules, or the regular season rules??

IRI-esque rules:

Scoring and Rule Changes

Scoring and rules will be the same as the official FIRST 2011 LogoMotion game with the following exceptions:

• Ubertubes may be place on scoring pegs during teleoperated mode to double point value of any game piece placed over the Ubertube. Only Ubertubes placed during autonomous mode earn a 6-point bonus.

• Game pieces scored on the bottom row are worth 2-points each (rather than 1-point).

• Minibot scoring is as follows: 1st and 2nd place - 20 points, 3rd and 4th place - 15 points

Alliance Selection & Tournament Play

With more than 20 teams competing, the elimination tournament will be played with 6 Alliances. The #1 and #2 alliances will receive "byes" in the quarterfinal round and compete as semi-finalists.

Alliances will consist of four teams. Alliance selection will be in forward order (1, 2, 3, ...) for the second teams, in forward order for the third teams, and in reverse order for the fourth teams. The alliance captains will have full discretion on which three teams play each match. There is no requirement that all teams in the alliance play an elimination match.

If less than 24 robots compete, the 6 alliances will consist of at least 3 teams. Alliances will select fourth team members in the last (serpentine) round until no robots remain. Semifinal alliances with 3 robots will select 4th robots from teams eliminated in the quarterfinals (in serpentine order).

Alliances are allowed one six-minute time-out during the Tournament Play. Alliances may not give their time out to the other alliance.

Do the #1 and #2 seed have the option of passing on these bye's ?

If we're tight on time (as we usually are) the quarterfinals are likely to be a single "play-in" match into the semis.

We don't want the #1 and #2 seeds to be short-changed on the number of matches played.

Any of the teams coming have a spare jaguar by any chance? Just blew one tonight on our newest creation and it puts a serious damper on drive.

We've got plenty of greys, and I think we have some black jags too. I'll check tomorrow.

If you still need one, we have plenty of spare grays

Also, 399 is planning on recording the event. It will just take some time to split and upload the videos.

A very successful 2011 SCRRF Fall Classic is in the books!

Many thanks to WRRF for providing the field, BAE Systems for covering transportation and materials, Los Angeles Region FLL for power distribution and audio video equipment, and, most importantly, all the volunteers (field setup/teardown, referees, scorekeepers, field reset) so critical to the success of the event.

Before the elimination matches, a brief ceremony was held thanking Jim Beck for his service and dedication to FIRST Robotics in Southern California. Student representatives from each team gave a brief "thank you" and shook hands with Jim.

The elimination round included six alliances, with single-match eliminations in the first round. The event culminated in a very exciting set of finals matches, requiring three games to decide the Championship. Team 696 (Circuit Breakers) were called upon as a back-up robot in the Finals by the #4 alliance.

Here are the results:
