Chezy Champs has a dramatically different rule set than IRI. I'd also be shocked if any team from Indiana flew across the country to compete there.

I wouldnt say dramatically different. I'd say goes further than IRI in changing the game.

on an unrelated note, I'm sad to see no PNW teams, but that's probably a cost/distance issue (I imagine we'll see a few at Cheezy Champz)

Can we argue about this years game somewhere else? (maybe in one of the hand full of threads already out there)

Lets try to keep this thread related to the awesomeness of IRI and the teams invited to it.



In other news!
Team 2512 is extremely excited to attend this year and will be our teams first outing at IRI. Cant wait to catch up with other teams as well as meet the ones we haven't yet!

Chris and Andy,
I am not sure if others are inquiring about this also, but I sent an email yesterday concerning shipping quotes to and from North Lawrence HS or AM.
We will need that in order to finalize trip documentation on our end before officially accepting.

This is a 5 minute response – too busy for more – so please don’t put more thought into this post than I have

It is GREAT to have highly competitive events in the Midwest and the west coast for the teams who value the competition.

We have not had a chance to experience Chezy Champs but based of feedback from friends it must be a tremendous event and we hope to participate in the future.

We have been fortunate enough to experience the Midwestern warmth and competition of IRI and are eager to do it again this year.

All that said, I think that it might be more constructive if the folks who choose not to travel to participate in one event or the other would aim for a bit higher ground and not belittle the experience, the game, or the events for others.

Just one mans opinion.

Thanks,

Mark

At least two now, I agree completely.

He's not promoting Chezy Champs in that post, or criticizing IRI.

His point is that it's not worth spending a huge pile of money to go across the country for a poor game.
