QotW 07-13-03: IRI

[Aaron Lussier]

I had been following the IRI thread since David Kelly started it way back before Nats, and I noticed just how many people were going to be there so at the Beginning of July, I decided I was going to go, Luckily I had some Graduation money that I could spend, I bought my Bus tickets and I was set. I guess the reason that I decided to go was because: 1. I 've never seen the mid west, except by plane, and 2 I get to meet people that I only talk to over AIM and on CD.

What about IRI attracts people?
I think its a combination of a powerhouse of really good teams, and a mixture of people from all around the US, It's like a mini Nats... I guess

If event planners want to have similar success then they need to start a off season comp, get it noticed and get the best teams there, and it wont turn in to a huge competition the first year, If I remember correctly this is IRI's 4th year of being held. It takes a while to be noticed. If you want to put on an IRI scale competition then its gonna take some time.
