I am also shocked. What happened to them?

[mtaman02]

idk - Takes note to ask tomorrow...

Well all isn't too bad

The SI Teams are doing ok
522 - McKee's in 5th.
1688 - Pt. Rich is somewhere around 16th.
371 - Curtis is hanging around 28 (Much better then usual, usually they're in the back somewhere)
375 - SI Tech is bringing up the rear (Shocker )

Def. a change in standings for the SI Teams (well for the bottom 3 anyway - McKee likes to hang out with the top dawgs)

Real interesting top 8 / 10 so it'll be even more interesting if it changes or stays the same come alliance selection.

Crosses fingers for 8 Awesome Alliances

You can find the webcast (starting tomorrow) at http://team102.frc

I have been told that it shouldn't matter if the 'www' is included or not.
Team 102 is hoping to get this up and running tomorrow!

If you have any questions, Team 102 is the team to ask!

I am not actually sure why the link is not working.
Ashley Marshall from Team 102 contacted me from Long Island and asked me to post that exact link for her on CD.
Other than what she told me, I don't really have any information.
However, there is another thread about webcasting for Long Island:
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=66331

I'm sorry I can't be more of a help here.
But I hope the above link helps!

Could someone please explain what "Musical Theme", "MVP", and "Greening Award" were awarded for?

It's listed on the bottom of : http://www2.usfirst.org/2008comp/events/LI/awards.html and I'm quite confused

I believe those awards are pilot awards for starters (FIRST is trying them out similar to the best cart award to be given in NYC)

I have no clue what the awards are suppose to mean though - I too am confused

Congratulations to Team 2010 on their first ever regional victory!

Thanks to 2487 for picking them and 102 for being a part of the alliance!

Anyone have details of the elims?

Thank you teams 358 and 533 for asking us to join you in the elimination rounds. We had a nice run to the finals. Congratulations to the winners and everyone who received awards.

You can check both the FIRST website here and TBA here.

Did any team happen to record the matches?, I would love to see them again.

LOL I should have been more specific.

I know the scores - just wanted a more detailed description of the action.

I'm sure I'll hear all about it when 2010 returns home.

[mtaman02]

Really close matches and with the current scoring system it left the teams on the edges of their seats. Esp. when the Game Announcer was waiting for the scores themselves.

I think the highest score for the day was 98 set by alliance #2.

I visited the table in the corner of the arena where the camera crew (you know what I mean) was stationed. Based on what I learned, I think you should speak with someone from team 353.

I believe there was a game (it was toward the end of the qualifying matches) where the red alliance scored 112.

Next year is the 10th year of the SBPLI regional. Looking at how everyone was this year, I can't even begin to imagine how next year will be.

Musical Theme: For the past two years Long Island First has held a contest in which teams can produce a theme song for the regional. The winning entry is played throughout the competition.

MVP: Each team was asked to nominate one of their members as the "MVP". Each nominee received a certificate and one nominee was chosen as overall MVP.

Greening Award: This award was presented to the most environmentally friendly team. I heard that the winning team conducts highway cleanups.
