Unlike my mother, I have become accustomed to CD April Fool's pranks, and therefore when she came up and told me about it this morning, I knew that it was a joke, although it definitely isn't as good as the Championship Cancellation thread, it was an interesting idea.

I guess the 3 vs 3 experiment failed. According to this update, the game will be played 2 vs 2 for this weekend's regionals and Championships.

Most of the update just changes the wording of the rules to apply to two robots per alliance as opposed to three. Of particular interest, though:
HA HA, excellent April Fool's joke.

The file isn't up anymore, if it ever was.

That said, I love the title of the error page that shows up - "300 Multiple Choices." Awesome.

Speaking of George's past April Fool's pranks, lets not forget the time the owner of the Indianapolis Colts bought FIRST. Sorry George, but I saw the post was by you before I clicked on it, and that kinda gave it away that it was a prank. Eh, at least you're quite creative with these things; good for a chuckle.
Nothing beat the COlts buying FIRST.
Man that one freaked me out!

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States! (lo siento, soy Boricua and i gotta represent ) Speaking of other countries and whatnot, personally i like the ring of "The Championship Event" as opposed to "Nationals" or "Internationals" or "Worlds".. although the last two do give a somewhat better perspective on just how large FIRST has grown.

and yeah, this was a great joke... my brother called me up from school early in the morning (i'm on spring break and wasnt exactly thrilled about the wake-up call) saying "READ UPDATE 19!! ITS SO EVIL I CANT BELIEVE THEY DID THAT!!" and i passed up on him telling me, saying i'd rather read it myself, and immidiately went to the FIRST site, and tada! no Update 19 existed. oh well... perhaps they should have left it up a little longer, i would have gotten a good April Fool's Day kick out of it.
