Yea, I found it to be accessible from to different routes... Maybe next year we can try doing a better job advertising. Panda-monium turned out great for only running it's 1st. season. Once teams start to see it returning again then more should turn up. Maybe we can do some advertising in the NYC Regional as well as the NJ & SBPLI Regionals to get the other boroughs to come in as well (BX, QN and MA). Food was awesome which was a big plus, staff was friendly and the teams were very understanding on how we were doing things. That being said all we need is MORE teams to signup for next year and we'll be good to go .

P.S. THERE MUST BE ANOTHER PIE EATING CONTEST so jax1488 aka Jack Ferente can defend his title . Ahh how the memories of Jack getting down and dirty year after year .

How did the round robin finals go? Any thoughts?

From my team members on the topic of another PP:

Absolute YES. Fantastic event that can only get better with more publicity in the future and more teams. It gives our drivers more time to practice for other off seasons as well after a long summer of nothing to do.

Confusing but nevertheless we managed , That was the first time I dealt w/ Round Robin Elimination Matches so it confused me for the first 2 or 3 matches

I think the best part was having volunteers go back and forth from the score table to the pits to queue up teams manually since schedules were kinda difficult to produce.

We can definitely try to advertise again, but we did try really hard last year to get teams interested. We had flyers and buttons to hand out at both the NJ Regional (where we competed), and the NYC Regional (where we volunteered). We also handed these out to any NY/NJ/DE/PA teams in our division at the Championships, and we tried CD to spread the word. I think we got most of our teams to sign up by word of mouth though. But maybe now that we've hosted it once people will be more receptive to flyers/buttons

I know, teams will always be leary about attending a new off-season event thats being hosted for the first time. But once the event has been broken in then word should spread a bit quicker. I mean after all it's one of the more accessible ones in the Tri-State area w/ excellent food ....

Drools for more Chili and Pizza

Mmmmm food =D I loved having breakfast and lunch there... made my dad get me food haha. But it was excellent =D I agree with Mike... there should definately be at least 24 teams next year... we'll spread the word around, and come on, who doesn't want to attend offseasons? Especially ones with cute lil pandas Maybe... we need more pandas lol... and then have the lil pandas perform the game... people love pandas haha. But seriously, there will definately be more teams wanting to attend and I surely can't wait

[mtaman02]

I bet that little panda will never forget that day ever lol...

I think he's the youngest FIRST off-season mascot I've seen so far.

Hmm... now where can we adopt additional pandas *ponders*
