Re: 2009 - Ice Game
For an ice game here in Arizona, we'd have to move our venue to the Coyote's Arena. Does this mean I can assume we'd finally get the Cardinal's Staidum/Coyote's Arena venue combo I've been hoping for, and we can push for a super regional (or even the Championship) in 2009?

Using snow would stink. Snow is cold, and wet when melted. I just hate it!

Re: 2009 - Ice Game
ice dosent have to be frozen water.......they make "fake" ice thats like srally slippery plastic that people skate on. it could be a connection to a water game (water + cold = ice)

IceTraktor? its called an IceTraktor?! gosh my childhood would have been so much more exciting if an "IceTraktor" cleaned the ice after my youth hockey games instead of that lame zamboni.

Re: 2009 - Ice Game
We barely have any ice here in California (At least here in Rohnert Park, where 675 is), so we'd have no way to practice D=

Re: 2009 - Ice Game
That would surely make an interesting Florida Regional. Would it actually require us not to wear shorts and the warm clothes that none of us Floridians have?

"Ice? What's that?"

With this game each venue would already be equipped with a team social, ice skating party anyone? I could only imagine the poor volunteers though...

Re: 2009 - Ice Game
some teams would have trouble with the "not destroying the game pieces or arena" rule. Not to mention it would completely mess up over perfect traction robots!

Not really. Just make a robot with gigantic spikes on the treads... [during a match- the announcer] "Ooh, and there goes Team X's whole control board... sorry guys... [/during a match- the announcer]

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: 2009 - Ice Game
If we're going to speculate shouldn't we at least speculate about the 2008 game?
