It works with some events, and doesn't with others. For example, my team (1619) is the only team to have gone to IRI last year out of the Utah lineup. However, there are a number of excellent teams like 987, 2122, and 4334 that certainly would have made it in but didn't apply for the event.

Other events like that include Las Vegas (148, 842, and 1538 didn't go to IRI) and even Silicon Valley (254, 971, 2468 all didn't go to IRI). Sometimes it works as an indicator and sometimes it doesn't.

Warren... 2468 Team Appreciate _was_ at 2016 IRI.

My former team, 3481, and 2468 shared a trailer at IRI.

Both Events in Minneapolis this year certainly have decent potential, at least based on MN potential, North Star has 1806, 2175, 2169, and 3130 to name a few. While 10K lakes has 5172, 2052, 2502 and others. While they are by no means scary competitive like some others in this thread, in Minnesota, they will be very tough events for all teams involved.

If 5172 is as good as they were last year, they will be about as scary competitive as you can get.

I forgot about that. Thanks, and sorry for the misinformation!
