I say that all the time to alliances after we work out a strategy. Unfortunately, most dont get it.

Amateurs...

Looks like 3515 added, 2 left to go. They were the 63th ranked team so perhaps none of the teams above them will attend?
[EDIT] I guess they will. 1811 (38th) just added, 1 left [/EDIT]

[quote=The Lucas;1154582]Like 103, I speculate that 555 and 1143 (both registered for Worlds) may forgo MAR CMP on their way to CMP.

103 is not attending MAR State Champs simply because we don't need to qualify again for worlds, thus we thought let another team have a shot at getting there, why do we need to qualify again?

I'm just saying and maybe we will go next year, idk because we did not know what this district model was going to entail, but that's just the story for this year. Just thought I would share.

You flatter me. Jess Boucher originated #omgrobots.

#MARFIRST makes sense to me? Or #omgMAR ... .

I'm thinking #marfirst would be a good one. All in favor?

I second #marfirst

[The Lucas]

Sounds good to me. #MARFIRST for all MAR tweets. Maybe toss in #omgrobots for good measure.

So that was Jess, huh. That makes sense, too.

I applaud this
I wonder why teams like 341 still register in spite of this. They already won the Boston regional.

Because it's their money and they want to use it to play more matches... I'm glad they are going since I'm staying with one of their mentors.

Because 341 would be oh so far away if they weren't going?

Because any kids, including yours, that worked their tails off building a machine for 6 weeks in a high school wood shop, should have the right to compete against the best teams in MAR, if they have earned that right. We did not invent the MAR qualifying system, we are only living in it just like you.

Additionally, Several people proposed that all MAR CCA teams should not even be a part of the head-count for MAR qualifying teams, since 365, 103, and 341 qualify each year already. But that proposal was not accepted. That being said, all students in MAR have the right to play every match that they possibly can, including the MAR Championship.

Well, I probably wouldn't park the car that I sleep in so close to Temple if we weren't attending.
