i'm hoping to be there even though it's the weekend before finals for me (eep!) good luck to everyone in off-season and those of you i haven't scrambled around to meet from CD expect some stalking ~.^

well the 2004 PARC is only 2 weeks away, we're having an unbelieveable 35 teams this year with sooo many teams, we have to move the pits into our cafeteria this year, it'll give it somewhat of a "Championship feel" to the PARC. OK, the cafeteria isn't a 3 day hike to the field, but it's not just outside our gym (about oh, 100-200 ft, maybe). ok, so i really have no clue Also, to the best of my knowledge, practice rounds will be on a first come first serve basis, as you check in, you have to sign up for practice. well, i can't wait to see everyone there, it's gonna be the best PARC yet!!!

35 TEAMS!!! OMG! WOW! I can't imagine what it will be like! The anticipation is killing me! Will this make the day longer, or less matches for all?

[OneAngryDaisy]

Awesome.. will there be a different playoff format so that everyone can play? like 12 alliances or something?

[Yan Wang]

Noooooo.

Having 16 alliances at Canada was a nightmare. It made scouting impossibly hard and it ended up being the #1 and #2 alliances going at it in the end (the new scoring system is much more representative of robot ability). In Championships, there were 73 teams per division yet there weren't 16 sixteen alliances. Please don't implement this for PARC. In fact, 12 alliances equals 36 teams - there's going to be 35 and some might not show.

[camtunkpa]

we will be playing by first rules....which means only 8 alliances. I know some teams run a different format so all teams get in the finals, but due to the time constraint we just cant.... and btw there are 36 teams carl
