Let the games begin!

Koko Ed, you’re up.

2

Gimmie team 71.

3

Joel, you’re up.

4

I’ll take team 45. Andy, you’re up.

5

Oh and Draft Picks is set up for this division again.

6

From what i learned in the battlecry division… based on the draft positions, Chris has the best shot at winning this division… he has the #5 pick, teh #10 pick, and hte #2 pick… 2 solid first and second round draftpicks, and an incredible third round steal will win it for him…

time will tell…

Good luck ya’ll

Tom

7

Well, crap. I kinda like those guys.

Oh, well… I’ll have to take team 469. They have never lost IRI in their last 3 years.

AB

8

And I’ll go for style, because the northeast is all about stylllle.

571

Chris, you’re up.

9

Isn’t 469 also the only team to win IRI after winning a national championship?

10

I’ll take 494 the Martians…

Mr. Grady your up…

Chris Carnevale

in my heart i really wanted to pick 308 they always seem to have good luck at IRI…anyone know why there not going?

11

Youuuu dingleberry, you took them out from right under me! Well done! I will take the ever present team number 33, Killa Beez!

Karthik, its your turn…do your worst!

12

Can I have 1114? What about 188?

Sigh. Since there aren’t any Canadian teams, I’ll take team 27.

HHSJosh is up.

13

The northeast may be all about style, but the West Coast is all about winning.

I’ll take Team 980, The Thunderbots.

Travis Hoffman, you’re up.

14

Dang, that went fast…I checked at lunch and there were only two picks. Don’t any of you guys actually WORK for a living? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll take Dr. Joe and Co. - Team 47, Chief Delphi.

JVN - your fan club is watching. Don’t let them down with your first pick! Yer up.

15

Nope, I’m still a HS student, so I have a bit of an excuse. :smiley:

16

Ya know, for someone so popular, JVN is awfully darn slow with his Fantasy FIRST picks. How dare he think that he can run a real life and balance his Fantasy FIRST team at the same time! Maybe he’s just scared that he’ll end up in last place again :wink:

As for the rest of you, Battlecry was a warmup. Now, its the Evil Empire’s turn to show that even with midwest teams to pick from, I am still strategy king! Karthik is going down this time!!!

Just bring it!

17

Sorry fellas, some of us have to WORK for a living! :wink:

I guess I get 2 picks? (cue the drumrolls folks)

How about the best college team in FIRST… 461!
And (that’s not all)… the best Delphi team… 48!

What a pairing!
Gotta love it!

John

18

So, then, Hoffman’s on the clock.

19

Heh…48…riiiight…good luck with that crazy outfit…especially if a certain Canadian weasels his way into coaching their drive team. Crazier things have happened… :slight_smile:

Boy this is a tough one. I got two teams in mind, but I’m gonna pick the battle-tested, 51-19-0, postseason vets and PARC Champions - Team 222. After a last minute status report from one of their team members, I’ve been assured their robot is ready to rock and their drive team is ready to kick some butt anew after their uncharacteristic showing at WPI.

HHSJosh, may your next pick send a dagger through Karthik’s black heart and forever dash his hopes of a repeat FF victory against the walls of Lawrence North High School! :rolleyes:

20

I will try, and so I pick Team 808, they’re not west coast, but they are #1 rank.

Karthik, I dare you to make a stronger alliance, none of your Canadian teams here!
