Regardless, I am just wondering who else will be performing (a special appearance?) at this Team Social, and if there is anything else to expect (perhaps food?).

Cheerleading and STEPPING (it's an urban thing) Demos!

Yes, the Jazz Jam is still on.
We're still working on the special guest and food options.

Hey all,

I wonder who the special guest could be??*ponders*

Ok I did some work on this little score keeper thingy and I have come up with this near simple design in MS Word

see attachment!!!!!!!!!

You like. When the matches change to the Elimitaion Rounds it will continue to have this format. and "Match#1 would be like Semi Final Match 1.1" Its simple easy to use and all you'll need is a pen. Anyone willing to help let me know so I know how many copies to print up.

This will help FIRST in getting the results out to teams for at least this regional.

Is this the referee's score tabulating sheet? If so, it looks good, although that would be an aweful lot of red and blue ink you would use up. Maybe if you color the borders of each box to their respective alliance, that may save you up on ink.

VERY IMPORTANT - NYC FIRST - Schedule Correction

We just noticed an error in the Public Agenda for the 2004 New York City FIRST Robotics Competition that is posted on the FIRST website --

Please note that on Thursday, March 25, the pits will open at 8:30am. The designated three team members who will be entering early to uncrate may enter the pit area starting at 7:45am.

We hope that this error does not cause your team difficulty. We apologize for the mistake.

We hope everyone has a great time and successful competiton. You are greatest. We really appreciate all that you do to make it possible for your students to be part of the FIRST celebration.

See you next week.

To be honest i will have no choice but to lighten the colors up b/c it comes out too dark and the ink pen that i will use will not look to good upagainst the colors unless its a black pen. this isn't the referees scoring sheet. FIRST has taken some time in putting up results from regionals and i would think it to be a good idea to at least get 1 out of the many (NYC regional) out of the way and post results here on delphi that way FIRST can at least take their time in posting results for this one.


To finalize this post I might use the idea in just having the borders colored rather then the interior of the box. i have at least another week to get it right plus its just a small side project so it won't take long.


edit:// SEE ATTACHMENT!!! In This post
A Copy of the Score / Ranking / Award Sheet will be uploaded to the White Papers for teams to use at the remaining regionals sometime tonite

Instructions on the Score / Ranking / Award Sheet
Notes**** This sheet may be used for personal team records or you may use this as a full record of the status of the regional. This file came to be since FIRST has been a lil slow with getting things running as far as regional updates is concerned.

To Print this file in MS WORD
Click File > Print
In the Pages box type in 16,1
2,15
14,3
4,13
12,5
6,11
10,7
8,9

Scroll to the Pages per sheet and select 2 pages then scroll to the Scale to paper size and select Letter. Do this for all the sets of pages to achieve Book Format

Each page set of pages must be printed seperately for Book View (e.g. Print 16,1 after that place the sheet corresponding to printer setup so that 2,15 may be printed on the reverse side correctly. Do this for each set all together you should have 4 pages.

You may change the NYC FIRST! Regional @ ..... to a the Regional you are attending.

If you run out of the Match # boxes you may copy and paste from where the row Match# starts to where the last row ends (before the next Match# row begins.)

If you run out of Rankings row just copy and past the row before and edit as necessary.

This book may also be printed normally.


Ok! One other comment. I know that many teams out there have alot of Team Spirit, and while attending the NYC Regionals I want to see that team spirit let loose. Maybe when the YMCA or Cha Cha Slide / Electric Slide or any other party dance song gets played we can put together a small group size of members consisting maybe 2 team members from each team to do the party dance moves to that song. It's only a suggestion and need not to be done if you don't want to. After these last few gloomy days of Snow / Rain maybe we can bring a strong ray of sunshine and excitment to the field and competition.
