Re: PNW robotics teams, what'd you think of the district model?
 

The format is completely exhausting. The two-and-a-half day district event format is great, but the championship was a bit too long, I thought.

The execution, though, was great. I was impressed with the quality of the events we attended this season. Thanks to all who made them happen.

Having been a mentor for a year under the regional model and now a rookie team coach under the district model, I definitely prefer the new format, despite the increased logistical load. Our season definitely feels a lot more "complete". 3.5 days in Portland was indeed long and it made travel fairly challenging (we went from just needing the load in crew to needing the whole team on Wednesday night), but I love that the 12 qualification matches per-event carried over from the district events to the championships. For teams that don't make DCMP Elims (us and 38 other teams), those extra matches really help to make the whole weekend feel like the grand spectacle that it deserves to be.

Thanks for a really good time at The PNW championship.
Congratulation to 1318, 1983 and 2907 you showed how working together for assist points maked the difference.
That said our team 4061 struggled at Portland we still finished 10th and will be at Worlds. I think that the PNW will be represented well in ST Louis.
