Usually when something inappropriate like that happens the crowd responds to the "boo-er" in an overwhelming fashion.
I'm not associated with 1114 so I wouldn't have been the target of these things, but I didn't sense any sort of anti-Canada or anti-1114 vibe this weekend (unless you count statements like "1114 is going to be impossible to beat"). I have great respect for JVN, but something just doesn't sound right to this story - I'm skeptical.
If anyone has any information that someone from 2252 is associated with these allegations please PM me so I can take immediate corrective action.

Yes, I was actually at Pittsburgh and I did witness some of the claims. Others were witnessed by the judges and other event volunteers, who immediately brought them to our team's attention. In no way is this behavior reflective of the Pittsburgh regional, just a bunch of jerks who were in attendance at the Pittsburgh regional. All the volunteers at this event treated us impeccably.
