This is indeed a fun event to attend.
Being on the field with 469 last year for 10 matches was something that would never have happened during the FRC season.
Playing with 330 in 16 matches last season was great as well.
Win or lose, IRI lets you play with and against all the teams you hope to.
I also hope that 233, 254 and 987 decide to go this year as they weren’t there last summer. A shoe in I believe. 
Kind of curious, who is the all-time winningest team at IRI? Most wins? Most blue banners?
469 has 5 IRI blue banners (2001, 2002, 2003, 2009, 2010). 68 has 3 blue banners (2002, 2008, 2009). 4 more teams have 2. Only 2 teams have won the world championship and IRI in the same year (469 in 2003, 71 in 2004)
IRI has been won by 27 different teams. Michigan teams have won it 20 times, more then every other state combined. Illinois and California are 2nd with 4. The host teams (45, 234, 1024) have never won, and Indiana has only won 3 times.
No coincidence there. We have only won Ramp Riot once back in 2001 and we were a finalist in 2003. When you are running an event like this, you are very focused on being a gracious host and the competition comes second. (as it should be)
I believe 987 is applying today…
right on.

I don’t knw what you are referring to …
aaahh, the power of the admin authority
Since Andy said in his 1st post on this thread that the invites would go out on the 18th, will the list be put up on the IRI website on the 18th as well?
I was wondering How and where IRI posted event data.
