IRI - Registration, Plans, Changes for 2010

all it is, is kind of a "pick your own back-up" 4th pick

It appears that 2791 is going to have a few people at IRI this year to volunteer. Is it possible for us to bring our bot to possibly compete in the mentor matches (assuming we contribute enough greenbacks)?

With the exception that your back-up has to play at least once.

Not at IRI! That was the pre-2005, 3-team finals alliance, 2 teams playing rules that we no longer play by, except maybe at some offseason events; IRI, whether or not the backup is used depends on the scenario/strategy. Just to pick a team, 68 won in 2008, but never entered the field during eliminations.

To reiterate: 4 teams, 3 on the field, 1 as a reserve, which teams you play is an alliance decision.

I stand corrected. Thanks for catching that.
