Israel Regional thread with updates

[Greg Marra]

How are you guys handling the language barrier? Are announcements and MC introductions being made in both languages? It seems to me that this is one of the larger problems in hosting international events.

I don't know how it will be done tomorrow, but today all anouncements were done in english. Most israelis know english at a good enough level to understand this stuff.
I think tomorrow the pit announcements are still going to be in english, but the team introductions and game explanation will be in both languages (like last year).
The language barrier was really not a big deal today. In the worst case, someone near by came and translated.

The regional went fine today, there weren't any problems that I heard of except for the fact that during the first match the automous mode wasn't turned on so there was a bit of a mess. My team is currenty ranked 2 with a 7-0-0 record. Im pretty sure that first place is 1578 with 7-1-0 with a higher avg. ranking points than us. We had a great time today.

There is video of the first half of the day. The videos will hopefully be uo soon and I will post a link. The videos from today have no sound (couldn't find an xlr to rca adapter, if such adapter exists.)
I hope tomorrow this will be fixed and I will be able to upload all of the matches and awards, with sound and scores and everything.
