5406 is looking like a team to rival 1717, or 4814 for best rookie season ever.

Re: 2015 Waterloo Regional
 

What about 2056?

Re: 2015 Waterloo Regional
 

I love 1717, but their rookie season wasn't anything amazing when compared to 2056, or 5406 this year.

Interesting wildcard scenario here.

1114 and 2056 came in qualified for The Championship, so their win generated two wildcards. These were passed on to 3683 and 1334 (finalist first and second pick), as 5406 the finalist captain earned RAS.

In addition to winning the event, 2056 also won Chairman's which created a dead wildcard, as there was no one left on the finalist alliance to give it to.

1241 won EI after winning Chairman's two weeks ago which resulted in a second unused wildcard.

There were only two rookies present, both of which played in the finals. This means that even if 5719 got rookie all star instead of 5406, everyone would have still qualified for worlds.

I was the ref on the red side doing the live scoring, and man was it fun trying to keep up with 1114 and 2056's stacks. It felt like every time I inputted a stack with litter another one was about to be placed.

Finally a big congrats to all teams who competed, Waterloo is always a high caliber event but it's really amazing to see the progression from Ontario's 1st event to 3rd event. We were having qualification matches that were rivaling that of other region's finals matches all day, with or without the big two.

Forgot about 2056's rookie season, on second thought I think the only one to rival winning IRI their rookie year is 4814 who captained their alliance to division finals.
