Not going to happen but this made me smile just thinking about it. I wanna be along for THAT ride.

I want to confirm the acceptance form will be available tonight @ 11:59pm, not this afternoon at 11:59am....correct.

1) 111 67 1771 179
2) 217 1625 68 222
3) 1114 148 1714 233 (optimistic placement of own team required ^_^)
4) 2753 2970 2826 2775 (ROOKIE ALLIANCE)
5) 234 71 2056 503
6) 45 399 1902 27
7) 118 973 33 330
8) 1155 254 365 16

Since I don't know enough (yet!) about all 82 teams to make my own prediction I modified this somewhat. I'll have a proper prediction (as well as a scouting book with every team there in it) sometime in a few weeks.

Although I see a lot of top notch teams in the eliminations, I would find it hard to believe that 910 would not be picked if not one of the alliance captains.

Correct. 11:59 PM on May 12th.

Fearless prediction for IRI: 45-234-1024 will be an elimination alliance.

[Magnechu]

Ah My fault. Will do a revised predictions list(s) later then. Haha, silly me.

just wondering....can a rookie team participating in the competition also participate in the early career challenge?

From the IRI website: Early Career / Pre-Rookie Teams are not part of the 72 Team IRI field of teams.

It seems likely that a rookie team competing in the field of 72 will be excluded from participating in the Early Career Challenge.

Although I'm disapointed we didn't make it, I feel a little better when looking at some of the other teams that were not invited. When you have two teams playing Saturday afternoon at the Championship, the top pick at one of the tougher regionals, and many finalist and semifinalists, not get invited, you know you have a strong field of teams. I'm glad I'm not in the position of choosing which teams to invite.

Anyway, my prediction (or teams I would like to see win) is 111-68-469-910.

It's this evening because I haven't made the registration page yet.

Looks like CA gets a strong presence (8 West Coast teams, 7 of which are CA) this year. A few years ago for dodgeball you guys were complaining that the "West" was all "Midwest". Now, do you still have the Poof balls, so you can really have an East vs. West matchup?

This is probably the strongest showing that the West Coast has yet sent to IRI.

What is the timing of "sent payment". Is it date received, or date postmarked?
