Um, wow. That’s quite the difference. Should be interesting to see how far
behind the LUGNET team the other teams are.

Yeah, I’m kind of wondering how well that will work. 10 AFOLs can build an ISD
in about 1-2 hours, no problem. A non-Lego team? Who knows? The first AFOL build
took 13 people 1 hour, 43 minutes, IIRC. Will a non-Lego team be done before the
3-hour mark hits (which is when the next round starts, I think)? If they
practice, probably. If they don’t?

That’s a ton of ISDs and a lot of table space to boot.

I would guess that it’s still only going to be 8 teams, but I think 56 is the
number of teams attempting to register, but on the “waiting list”? Or perhaps
someone got confused and 56 was the number of people instead of # of teams.
If they had 56 teams... hmm... (doing math)... They’d need to allow for 8 teams
all going at once, and that’s assuming 3-hour blocks for each time slot, no time
for cleanup, etc. And that’s also for the duration of the entire show (which
closes at midnight Friday and Saturday). So that would quadruple the amount of
space they needed, assuming they wanted to stress the schedule with times so
frequent and close together. And of course they’d need 110 ISD’s to build with.
Wow. $33,000 worth of ISD’s. How awesome would that be?
Even with 8 teams, that’s 14 ISD’s, which is still impressive. I wonder what
they do with the completed brick? Give it to the team that built it, I guess?
When we did our ISD build we used a bit less than 100 square feet of table
space, plus some standing around room-- so they need roughly 200+ at the moment,
and maybe 800+ if they had 56 teams? And that’s still assuming they’d jam them
into the schedule like that. Probably would use more like 1200+ sq feet and have
12 teams able to compete at once, just for the sake of scheduling. Man, that’d
be insane.
