Re: 2009 MARC EVENT NOW OPEN

Currently there are 10 teams that said they are coming for sure with 9 returnees that said they had a blast last year. This year is going to be even better with the hog roast social. These all are excellent teams that know how to have a good time and I know this event will be a blast already. We are still looking for volunteers so if you are interested please contact Lisa. By the way 910 gave me a recommendation of a talent show with the pig roast. I think this will be an excellent idea. Any other suggestions please feel free to comment.

The teams on my list are:
240
910
1243
1504
1528
1718
2591
2719
2832
2834

Re: 2009 MARC EVENT NOW OPEN

I really encourage everyone to come to this event. Even in its first year just getting started it was a ton of fun, and last year was fantastic. With the pig roast and other fun stuff going on I'm sure it will be even better this year.

Re: 2009 MARC EVENT NOW OPEN

I am pretty sure that team 47 will be there this year. We had a blast the first year of MARC but the change of dates last year prohibited us from returning last year. Hope to see everyone there.

Re: 2009 MARC EVENT NOW OPEN

Received 47's registration form a couple days ago. I also just received word that 1732 will be traveling again from Wisconsin for our event. Combined with the teams mentioned earlier, I know that I am going to enjoy hosting this event. Thanks to all those teams that consistantly come back year after year.

well of course it's a blast when you have such good teams like foley, hot, delphi, hilltoppers, chickens, martians and more martians,Dragons, Tempest, Syntax Errors, and Advanced Power, penguins, frogs, pirates and now our second home team the trojans, and many many more and hopefully with more teams it will be even better especially with the hog roast

Re: 2009 MARC EVENT NOW OPEN

hmm. 3119 will most likely apply. We were just looking at the prices and app information. 910 is going!! YAY!!
The mentor round will be so sweet. Our current coach will look so funny driving our bot. You think you can get some practice time into the competition also. We like to get some warm up time before the actual matches.

Re: 2009 MARC EVENT NOW OPEN

The best part about this competition is you get the see the competitiveness and continuous improvement of all teams. Not just the well known teams. Every year I am very impressed with the teamwork, upgrades, and awesome alliances formed by teams named Dragons, Tempest, Syntax Errors, and Advanced Power just to name a few. This is the reason I put on this event. To see these teams form such great alliances and push the competition to the next level.

Not to mention, I have been known to spend a little time socializing with some really great people.

Those twelve teams are:

47 "Chief Delphi"
70 "More Martians"
226 "HammerHeads"
240 "Tempest"
279 "Tech Fusion"
503 "Frog Force"
910 "Foley Freeze"
1023 "Bedford Express"
1243 "Dragons"
1504 "Desperate Penguins"
1528 "iPirates"
1732 "Hilltoppers"

Again I really want to thank these teams for giving me there support while trying to start-up an off-season event.

Re: 2009 MARC EVENT NOW OPEN

.An e-mail sent to me that I thaught I should post:

"I looked at the informational page for MARC and I saw that it is starting at 1 on Friday. Will those be full matches or just practice?"

-Jack

my reply:

"I am looking at how many teams we get and how many qualification matches we want to have. I perfer to have at least 8 matches each. I want to let teams come in early and get practice then possibly start quals around 4 - 730. This is something that I am going to pass out to the teams after I get the spots fill. To see what they think. Since we are talking about this, What is you take on it? "

The more matches you get to play the better. If we are going 4-7:30 we will most likely be able to get in 8 or 9. You should probably throw it out to teams right now, because it could change their plans. I am really excited for MARC and the pig roast sounds like a great idea.

This is what makes these offseason events so good. We all have inputs that influence the event. What do other teams think of having the actual qualification matches start on Friday from 4-7:30, then pick-up more matches Saturday morning and have open practice rounds from 1-4 on Friday?

Thanks Jack
