Did you know that only Airspeed has an intact 20-pointer record after Round 5? posted: Mar 19th, 2011 The first day with the first half of the Shamrock Showdown 2011 is over, and Round 5 brought the toughest challenge to most of the teams.
It was not even a 3-block sequence that made 4-way life very difficult at the end of the day. In fact, the only 3-block sequence in the competition in Round 3 (7-17-19) was actually an easy one. Only Arizona Airspeed survived Round 5 with an intact 20-pointer record.
In addition to the difficulty of the sequence, Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge lost two points in the judging room, NMP-PCH Hayabusa one point. The group of other victims in this round included... (more)
Did you know that the Shamrock Skins Game kicks in after Round 5? posted: Mar 18th, 2011 The videos of Round 3 are coming with the scores of Rounds 4 and 5. Airspeed gave away the 25th scoring point with an incomplete formation and had to accept that France tied the score for a round for the first time at the Shamrock Showdown 2011.
The scores of all three top teams show how even the sequences of this competition draw have been so far. It is quite unusual that a team's scores are within one single point after four rounds. That's the case for Arizona Airspeed and Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge. NMP-PCH Hayabusa and the DeLand Norgies copy that very closely.
In fact, most of the teams... (more)

Arizona Airspeed has posted the highscores for each single round so far, and there does not seem to be much competition on the very top of the leaderboard. Airspeed was clean in Round 2 and Round 3, Aerodyne Aerokart Maubeuge lost a point with a bad video angle in Round 3. NMP-PCH Hayabusa lost a point in Round 3 due to an incomplete formation.

Did you know that Arizona Airspeed came out of the gates like a race horse? posted: Mar 18th, 2011 The Shamrock Showdown 2011 is in full swing. Round 2 has just been completed, and the teams get ready for Round 3. The scores have been posted timely and before the next round begins. CamScore, judges and manifest have been working as a solid unit so far.
The first two rounds did not have very fast sequences, but the three top contenders had no problem beating the 20-point benchmark. The upcoming Round 3 is probably the slowest sequence of the competition.
