YAY! I've been waiting forever for Ramp Riot. Egads, I am sososososo excited now. I wish everybody good luck, make sure to play it safe tomorrow, and have FUN! I know I will!

Yay! I'm so happy. I get to put on my costume and have fun dancing and stuff! I can't wait.

Everyone who can't go- We'll try not to have too much fun

Everyone who can go- Let's make them feel sorry for not going (in a way that would make our grandmother's proud)

I can't wait, and the rest of 1403 can't either, when they made an announcement at the end of the day reminding all members going on the trip to be at school at 5:50am(!) we got some laughs, but we'll be there they saved the best 2006 event for last, but they got some stiff competition. Brunswick Eruption, Duel on the Delaware, Monty Madness, PARC, the Championship, the Boston Regional, and the NJ Regional were all a Hoot. Then again, there is only one Riot.

Wissahickon High School:
601 Knight Rd, Ambler, PA 19002, US

Is this the correct address?

Just getting directions to go tomorrow!

Freddy,

601 Houston is the Administration building. The High School's address is 521 Houston Road, Ambler, PA 19002-3599. Here is a driving map from Berlin, NJ. Hope this helps.

/*
Best of luck to all the teams competing tomorrow--I won't be able to make it back form college, but I trust y'all do the right thing and cheer so loud that I can hear it from State College.

It's a little late for me to be posting this, but a little toad told me that Lavery is going to be there.

[OZ_341]

I just wanted to say good luck to everyone on Saturday.

I would also like to say that you should remember the rookies at Ramp Riot!

When think about ramp Riot we realize that it smost important mission is to inspire rookies.

Play Hard! Have Fun in the Stands and take care of those rookies on your team and others.

See you in the morning!

[Chuck Glick]

I'm noticing two:

1) I hope you're on the red alliance!
2) Where are the dumpers, or the human players that can throw coast-to-coast? I remember several of the teams in these matches as dumpers--good dumpers, at that--from Duel on the Delaware, seeing only one or two balls in the corner goals just doesn't sound right.

the reason you are seeing few balls going through the goals is because we dont know that number. the program was designed to use the number of balls going through each goal, but since all those numbers are being counted by hand it is very hard for the refs to keep track of the numbers. so we are using Goals 1 and 2 to just show the correct score of the match, and the 3rd goal, for any penalties in the match (i forgot to add a function for that in).

anywas, it is a very intense competition. also check out the rankings from the first 10 matches. at http://www.team341.com/2006rankings.html

But it does reflect the fact the the center goal (red end - that is) is getting most of the action.

Rankings are updated.. we broke for lunch after match 20, looks like we're aiming for ten more matches before starting playoffs.

We'll also keep you updated with the playoff brackets
