That's fantastic, totally not trying to downplay you at all, but it is of special significance to me whether or not they are using a Nintendo Wii to play DDR on.

See everyone at Battlecry! This will be my second Battlecry volunteering.

Since IRI just released their new rules, one of them is that during auto you are allowed to cross the center line (within reason) AFTER you have crossed a defense. This will allow us to do a 30 point auto without penalty since right now we cross the white line with our intake by 2 inches. Can we consider this option for BattleCry this weekend?

The DDR game is on a PS2 (yes, 2!)

At this time, there are no plans to modify the rules any more than have already been outlined at http://www.wpi.edu/news/Events/BattleCry/rules.html.

Has everyone see the BC17 Trailer? If not, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMqSpsTwTQM

It's, well, surprisingly fine!

Can't wait for the event! PODS are here, lights & sounds are in process, and field setup starts Friday morning!

It should be available, it's on YouTube and is working for me on multiple machines. Are you viewing on mobile?

Kind of a letdown.
I hope the actual BattleCry video will rival those in the past, specifically BCXI.

Really looking forward to playing Stronghold again in Harrington.

I will be tracking results using this Google spreadsheet in approximately real-time. Quarterfinals seedings are approximate until the Eighthfinals are over.

Here is the BC17 opening trailer from opening ceremonies yesterday.

Day 2 videos are available on TBA. Eighth finals will be up soon as well, I just have to manually import them because the BC tournament was a little funky.
