We've ruled out water games over and over again...but how about ice?

You think we make tough defensive robots... you should see us on ice

We've got ice in St. Louis now. If the same thing happens in 2009 we could practice in the parking lot. Using batteries for power, of course; these ice storms are usually accompanied by widespread electrical service outage.

Anyway, our regional venue would be well suited to an ice game, because it is a hockey arena. Normally we cover the ice with plastic tiles and then carpet over that for the field. Maybe in '09 we can just remove some tiles instead?

If the volunteers (esp. referees and field resetters) are going to be ready for this, they have to get their skates on soon.

Yep! Same here in NJ.

And maybe that would mean less people would get sick at the regional...those little blocks they use to cover the ice always seem to have everyone feeling under the weather (or that's one of the theories).

Hehe, I have, and the Americans got beat up big time. Although this would be a cool game how consistent would it be? I mean after every game would you have that IceTraktor go over the ice to smooth it out? How would they keep the field consistent is my main worry. ALTHOUGH if you used treads properly it wouldn't matter.

I was IMed with "You Got Lavery owned" and was told to check out his away message....

And like a minute later I get an IM... (scared me half to death..thank you Dave)

(5:17:11 PM) Dave Lavery: You just HAD to start the "Ice in 2009!!!" thread, didn't you??!
(5:17:36 PM) Me: Libbys idea =]
(5:17:46 PM) Dave Lavery: oh yeah, blame her...
(5:17:56 PM) Dave Lavery: (actually, let's all just blame Sean)
(5:18:07 PM) Me: That works =]
(5:18:20 PM) Dave Lavery: consider it done.
(5:18:45 PM) Dave Lavery: Now I have to go off and figure out how we are going to get all the 2009 regional competitions to be held in hockey rinks....

ICE GAME IT IS!

Oh, so it's your fault. We are supposed to get that crap here tonight and tomorrow in Connecticut.

CRAP!! what you mean that beautiful white thing we like to call snow. I have been missing it here in Toronto, today was actually our first official snow fall... and I have been missing it (it looks a lot better then yellow dead grass).
