22 Teams officially so far, but we WILL fill to 24 tommorow, either by filling up with the last three teams listed, or we will be placing "B-Bots" to fill the spots.

Remember...double elimination format...so an interesting retro-twist to this years River Rage should be alot of fun!

If the competition is double elimination, how will teams be paired? Randomly within their rung each time? Will there then be alliance selection and playoffs, or double elim all the way to the champions?

[Dan Petrovic]

I'm so pumped!

Each team will run qualifying rounds as normal. (Approximately 5 or 6) At the end of Qualifying rounds, the top 8 teams will select two partners each. Each alliance captain can only choose partners from outside the top 8, so team 1 can only choose a team thats ranked 9th or beyond. From there, the 1 seed will play 8, 2 vs 7, and so on. If you lose a match, you move to the losers bracket. The finals will be 2 out of 3.
