IRI History 2002
In 2002, the IRI moved from Kokomo, IN to Indianapolis, IN. It was held there in the Lawrence North High School Gym. Instead of only being hosted by Team #45, the Technokats, they were joined by Team #234, CyberBlue, from Indianapolis, IN, and Team #393, Full Metal Jackets, from Morristown, IN. Attendance was up by around 10 teams (a number is not known at this time).
The 2002 game, Zone Zeal, involved pushing goals around a field. The winners of the IRI that year were Team #201, the FEDS, Team #469, Las Guerillas, and an unknown team.
Highlights:
- Final match was very controversial, and was determined by a DQ.
- Team 330 attended all the way from Los Angeles.
- Team #71 was a finalist two years in a row.
