Re: Championship alliance picking & accepting contest

So now teams have a consolation for not making top seed - they can be creative and get a shirt from Andy!

Re: Championship alliance picking & accepting contest

Possibly the coolest new idea for this season. Andy does it again! I love this!

I am going to start training our students to say "Team 116 gratefully accepts the magnanimous invitation from Team ____ - and to prove it, we brought donuts!"

Unfortunately, Dave, that won't quite work:

Quote:
3.12 SITE RESTRICTIONS
Please read the following restrictions and adhere to them in order to promote an orderly, safe,
pleasant, and exciting competition. As a group, we all should honor agreements with the venue and
help promote the spirit of good partnership. Please:
• Do not bring food on the site. If you bring food, do not bring it onto the property.
Though I guess that's what Team Update #19 could be for...

(At Mission Mayhem, we explicitly banned "graciously accepting", under penalty of being pelted by Poof balls by the field crew until they accepted in a different manner. The results weren't legendary, but no Poof balls were thrown.)

Re: Championship alliance picking & accepting contest

Great idea, ANDY! This would mean great footage for me. I'll have to see what I can add to this package... I might throw in a QC Elite t-shirt for the participant in the same division as 648 (because I only have a couple of shirts), the rest could get a care package or something from 648 (one each of our ~6 button designs and a mythical keychain we have, still have yet to see those).

I don't think that will pass. KK Donuts are over rated. Maybe pizza topped with tapping fluid and aluminum shavings with some mountain dew will get ya first picked.

Re: Championship alliance picking & accepting contest

When i was down there i, me and ken had a certain strategy set up for if we were going to pick the chickens (Who were very high on our list if certain things happened) and i was gonna yell to the people in the stand and tell them we were having chicken for lunch. But the pig farmer got a giggle outta me
