IRI - Comments, Suggestions,

[MissInformation]

My only complaint is the long drive... IRI is perhaps the most amazing event ever, organized by perhaps the most amazing group of people ever, but with all that brain power, one would think you would have created some kind of a time warp or wormhole or something... Now that I've mentioned the possibility of a wormhole, I'll expect one next year...

The mentor round counted?

Of course the mentor rounds counted


Thank you all for the positive comments.

IRI is by far the best event I have ever attended. Maybe it was b/c I wasn't under any pressure as an operator or coach, but it was immense fun. There was an extreme level of competition that I don't even think is rivaled by The Championship. I've never seen harder fought matches then the semis and finals. Dean should come and learn from IRI.

Now, onto some nitpicks.

1. As pit announcer: I felt that I was under-informed on where and when stuff was, i.e. the talent show was in the auditorium from 12-2, but where was the auditorium? And the VIP pits were next to the playing field and when one of those teams was late to a match, I was unknowingly announcing them eventhough they couldn't hear me until I realized it and informed the person on the other end of the radio that they were out there.

2. As a spectator: I thought the competition was great. I liked the announcers from what I heard of them in the eliminations. I missed Copioli but I did listen to him on the lunch break. Although, the announcers were a bit loud.

I think that's about it. It was a very good competition. The school was perfect for the set-up too.

Please no fire alarms. Wearing a black t-shirt outside is no fun in the hot sun. Also I would have liked a team social afterwards. to say goodbye to all of my friends.

other than its too short, there is nothing that can be changed. that was so much fun.
