[Warren Boudreau]

It has been too long since SPAM was able to come up and visit with our South Carolina friends.

Bilfred, thanks for helping us out. The data said that y'all were the best choice and we were ecstatic when you were still available for our second pick.

Triple Helix, you guys are great. The qualifying match was fun, but not nearly as much fun as the elimination rounds.

Congratulations to Gene from 343 for his Woody Flowers recognition.

MORT, it was rough seeing your alliance get that red card. I hope the Chairman's Award soothes the pain a bit. Congratulations, you are a great group of people.

And I have to give thanks to the folks from Purple Haze and Exploding Bacon for helping out with our scouting effort. The data came out right on target.

And finally, I want to congratulate the Palmetto Regional Planning committee and all of the volunteers for pulling off a great regional event.
