What a wonderful event. The actions was absolutely unbelieveable. This Link really says it all:

With an average RS of 60.3 points!!!!!!! That means the average "losing" score was over 60 points before penalties.
I was in the TV truck a good deal of the weekend, and the footage should be amazing.
Thank you to all 64 teams for putting on a great show. It was truly a sight to behold.
Eliminations were as to be expected... Complete wild cards. 2 weeks ago I looked at the stats and saw that there would likely be 7 alliances capable of 100+ points. Then a couple more teams stepped up, and there were 8 alliances that really could have taken it yesterday. There were only 2 pairings that only went to 2. The QF were so exciting. 3/4 going to 3 matches. Semis were amazing as well. Then the finals really could have gone either way.
