[PayneTrain]

I also just wanna say that I'm really $@#$@#$@#$@#ing bummed out that Shaker got shafted again because myself and others should have run a nomination campaign, we just expected them to be a shoo in. Sorry ladies and gents. I still think you're pretty.

I'm similarly disappointed in 2791's rejection, but I'm also pumped both 5254 and 20 got in.
The team list looks stacked, and it should be a great event.

3824 is thrilled and honored. What can we print to be auctioned off? Any suggestions. Had a chair last year.

Congrats to 133, 195, and 1058!
195, amazing robot as always.
133 and 1058, you guys definitely deserve this. You both have had amazing seasons.

How about a 3d printed drivable coffee table?

Leonard used to be on 20 as a student, and now mentors for 5254, and both of the teams are close to each other(emotionally speaking).

I have a feeling Kevin is slightly more pumped about one of those teams over the other due a disproportionate sodium distribution.

Invited teams represent 14 US states, Canada, and 6 District systems:

• One each from Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia
• Two each from California, Florida, and Wisconsin
• Three each from Chesapeake, Illinois, and New England
• Four from Texas
• Five each from Minnesota and New York
• Six from Mid Atlantic
• Eight from Canada
• Ten from Indiana
• Sixteen from Michigan

I would love to see how this IRI field compares against earlier events on Jim's mean vs. signal-to-noise-ratio of OPR plot. I am guessing the point will be way up and to the right.

edit: Doing the calc myself using season OPRs here, I get Mean = 46.3, SNR = 14.4. The IRI Mean OPR is a little off the top of Jim's chart, and the SNR is a little to the right of MSC. So, as usual, IRI is the strongest and most balanced field yet.
