Re: MARC 2012
Are there going to be any rule changes at MARC this year? I know in the past it has been similar to IRI where some of the less popular or (how to put this delicately) less well thought out rules were changed.
If there are plans to make rule changes, there is already a great discussion going on in the IRI 2012 thread, so the powers that be (meaning you Gary ) can read that over if they haven't already been following it and they're looking for inspiration. |

Re: MARC 2012
Steve,
From time to time can you post a running list of who is coming to MARC this year? Thanks |

Re: MARC 2012
OK, as one who has never attended the event but has heard of the "legend" of the MARC venue's "hot"ness, can those who attended last year please give me an honest descriptive assessment of the comfort levels at the venue - both in pits and at the field?
For example...is it "sitting in the outdoor stands at the Disney-era Championship" hot? I have heard from several that the temp was much better last year. What measures are in place/will be in place to keep the heat down? |

Re: MARC 2012
It was a little cooler last year because the outside temperature was a bit lower than normal. Highs were around 70 vs a typical 80 degree high for end of June in MI
They usually have large fans to move air in/out of the gym. But it is still hot. Wear shorts, bring plenty of water/sports beverage. The area where the pits are just outside the gym is air conditioned if you need a cool down break. |

Steve purchased some cooling fans that spray a fine mist to keep the temperature down in the gym. |

Re: MARC 2012
You said your capacity was 42+? Does that mean that if more than 42 teams apply you'll make room for them, or does it mean you'll choose the best teams or do a lottery or what?

Re: MARC 2012
Last year I had 47 teams participate. I could hold more teams but it comes down to #teams vs #matches for the money. I prefer to have at least 10 qualification matches per team. As long as I have enough teams apply, I could go up to 54 teams comfortably.

As one of the original 12, FIRST team 279, TechFusion, will be there
It is a great event and a good way to see which younger students can step up. |
