Then I think you have to convert to Metric time, where there are 100 min to an hour, 10 hours to a day, and 10 days to a week.

So, um.... Divide by 24.... Multiply by pi..... I think that they had to ship before they started building?

Accually we have to ship 2 weeks after our first regional.

I'm sorry, but doesn't eating Krispy Kreme's just defeat the purpose of drinking Diet Coke????

Or is it like algebra, and they just cancel each other out??? lol

*EDIT, im not complaining, i was joking around, some of you took this seriously

Well, the Hawaiian team has 6 extra hours, but they have to wake up 3am to watch the kickoff! Then go back to bed.

You cant really blame FIRST (not like you was anyway but 4 a very bad argument blame the creator.)for the extra time that Teams were given.

If anything you should be blaming the dude / dudette upstairs who has shaped this world to what it is today. ! He / She has made the world in such a way that time zones would have to be splitten up so that everyone recieves the 24hrs with a portion of it day and portion of it night. The only US State that still is unusual that he / she can not do anything about is that 6 months day and 6 months night in Alaska or at least thats what I heard anyway - feel free to correct me just no arguments

In any case what FIRST does is always in the spirit of fairness even though it doesn't seem to be like that. FIRST realizes that teams need +/- time b/c the way the time zones have been set forth.

If anything we should be thanking FIRST for doing the best they can for an evil playing field for all teams to compete on.


My .2 cents See you at the competitions Good Luck to all.
