You know you're in MAR when...

You know you're in MAR when... the scoreboards at the regional championship venue show not only what match is currently playing but what match is being queued as well.

^That was an amazing idea by the way. +1 for MAR

You know you're in MAR when the exact same alliance is in the finals at two different events.

Win one, lose one.

You know you're in MAR when robots get more damage from getting defended than from falling off the top rung of the pyramid.

You know you're in MAR when you and a teammate visiting a district(AKA visiting a competition only 30 minutes away ) cheer loud enough in a small venue when the rookie team you mentor is selected in alliance selections that everybody in the room turns and stares at you...

Actually Don, this almost happened twice. 1676, 3314, and 714 were finalists at Mt. Olive and winners at Bridgewater-Raritan, but as shown in dheerm's signature, 224, 56, and 293 won TCNJ and were also together for the MAR Championship eliminations, where they were quarterfinalists. Only in MAR .

You know you're in MAR when there aren't any events in Week 2 because of state testing.

The fact that this happened is absolutely nuts!

Thank you for for defending my young team. We are on our way to Monty and hope to be in the elims there. Maybe with the host team. <3

Now..You know you are in MAR when...
Your kids say...can we do SIX MORE events and you say...Ok, I will sign us up for Monty, MidKnight, GPower, Duel, Eruption, and Riot....then they say...Great let's work another fifteen weeks on the thirty point climber of mass destruction...I don't know why I bother paying for Fios, I am never home to watch tv.

You know you're in MAR when this thread dies

You know you're in MAR when...
...You see a robot fall off the top of the pyramid and make it to the next match.
...When you shoot a frisbee in autonomous and it hits too high, bounces back into your hopper, and you shoot it again and make it.
...When the field starts to lag and crashes for 2 hours.
...When you accidentally break the FIRST KOP wheels on another teams bot by pushing them in low gear.
...When your pit at the regional is 3 feet away from the field.
...When you hear STORMS awesome Clap and Woosh Cheer.

And you catch up! (IIRC, we caught up from like a ~2 hour backup at Chestnut Hill 2012.)

That's crazy . Is there any video of this?

You know you're in MAR when it is 8PM (or later!) after an event and all you want to do is get dinner and unwind, but you are still packing the field into the PODS.
