IRI Divisions - 2016

[PLAN-COM]

Due to the large number of strong applicants, plus a few that we would refer to as "not strong at all", The IRI is creating 2 divisions for the 2016 IRI.

The division are:

The CHAMPIONS DIVISION - Most applicants are in this category. This includes teams that actually competed in 2016, passed inspections, and have bumpers. These teams will play at Lawrence Central High School.

The HOME FURNISHINGS DIVISION - This includes applicants from the COUCH and LEISURE sub-divisions from St. Louis. These teams do not really need a field at all, so their matches will be played (observed?) (pondered?) at the Sears Home Furnishings store near Castleton Mall. No food will be provided, but there is a food court, movie theatre, and plenty of shopping carts for robot transport.

LOOKING FORWARD is completing the analysis of the HOME FURNISHING Division and will provide insight and predictions closer to the event date.

We expect to provide shuttle service for visitors who want to attend matches at both locations.
