but if it was up to me, id just get one of those spinning BINGO things and do it that way

Haha, wouldn't we be fooled if they randomized all of the divisions! Maybe they will do that when we have the water game

[cziggy343]

well... the suspense is killing me lets just have the real one already!

GOD!!! I know lol

Odd, TBA doesn't show 175 as winning BAE. FIRST database error?

I want to see 179 +190 +11 again. Curie alliance 2004 May be possible to make 2/3 of that alliance hehe.

Yeah, the 3rd Finals match isn't recorded, so it's a perpetual tie with no one winning BAE. A lot of matches are missing from FIRST's reporting of that regional, and it's messed up the OPR stuff too, so we're only ranked for CT.

Go figure.

I have had the FIRST site open all day waiting for it to be posted. I cant wait to see what kinds of teams will be competing with.

Matthew Simpson

Team 75

TBA doesnt show any of the winning alliances with their deserving points

Haha sick. In '04 I believe we were 4th or 5th captain and then chose 190 first then 179? Not sure. But it'd be pretty sick to get part of that alliance back together.

Question: Is it certain that MORT will be in Curie in the real division or is it not always start in alphabetical order of divisions?

Without knowing more (definitive yes or nos from teams) I cant make another guess. So once again (with feeling ):
Anyone from 201, 326, 818, 66, 703, 2645, 2188, 2470 (from 10K not FiM), or 2620 want to update us on their team plans?

Team 703 will not be attending this year, due to several reasons including funding, time, etc.

We'll definitely be back in Atlanta next year though and hope to catch some off season events this year as well.

When does FIRST announce the official sheet that shows what division the teams are in ?

Usually, they'll be put up under the Championship 2009 page on FIRST's website. I don't know if they announce them but they don't really need to, they'll be up on CD 2 minutes after they've been uploaded. My guess is they'd probaby be up by this evening if they're coming out today.

Any day now.

In 2007 and 2008 it was alphabetical. In 2006 it went Galileo-Archimedes-Curie-Newton. In 2005 it was Archimedes-Curie-Newton-Galileo. 2004 Newton-Galileo-Archimedes-Curie.

So no, we won't know which division is which until the announcement.
