Newton Discussion

[rees2001]

This is going to be a TOUGH division. I know there will be a few surprises come Saturday afternoon. I believe that at least 5 teams that won a regional or were finalists (or both) that will not make it to the elim's. I would expect that the alliance that represents Newton will have 3 GREAT shooters to take to Einstein. Don't be surprised to see a score around 150+ in the elim’s. The finals will be mind-blowing! I hope the scoring system can keep up.

My math has ~at least
8 unstoppable shooters
7 very good shooters
12 good shooters
2 surprises
29 teams for the elim’s

Uh-Oh….

I wouldn't be surprised, with all the great shooters, if defensive powerhouses went before the 'good' shooters.

It will indeed be a great division and i can't wait to watch it on the webcast. Now does the webcast have 4 separate videos or can we only watch one feed at a time?

Unless team 340 has a hotel room for i and such.

I priced it out and all, i need at least $630. That is around 3-4 months of work to pay back the parents. So i made the hard and gut wrenching decision to not go. I'll be watching all Rochester teams and 229!

Who does everyone think will be one of the sleeper teams? We all know about the "power-houses" 25, 71, 111, 254 and so on...but every year there is a team that arises from out of nowhere and really make a name for themselves that the event...

Who do you think it will be?

I am goign to have to say 1188,49 and 322.

[Corey Balint]

I got a nice big ole list with stats and stuff already written down. I count a few for sure first rounders, and many second rounders. Should have more than enough good shooters here to spread around.
And to Tom, i'd expect the shooters that play a good d to go first before dumper bots. Which, in my mind, there are plenty of.

you can't really say who's gonna pop out of nowhere until they do...

Well thanks! We're definately going to do our best to be competetive. But as VEN says, you never know who's going to do well in ATL until its done.

322 and 1272, these teams only shoot or dump into the lower goals. If you need some defense and there are no more good shooters, then 1272 would be a great teammate. 322 just flies around the field. I'm not sure how much they can push, but they easily score around 20 or more balls a match.

I saw both of these team at regionals. 1272 picked us at Boilermaker and both were at West Michigan, where 322 was seeded #1. They just might be competitive enough to take one of the top 8 seeds away from a 3pt shooter.
