Congratulations to 1058 on their RCA and teams 131, 58, and 1831 on their GSR win! The repeatability of 131's and 58's scorers was really cool, and I especially enjoyed watching 58's hybrid mode all tournament!

But I also believe many thanks are in order for teams 1519, 885, and our good friends 2791. Up until I saw your alliance play this weekend, I hated this game. It was the same thing every match and no alliances tried to switch up their strategy and play some New England Defense! It was frustrating seeing such a strategically stagnant rather than dynamic game. After seeing you guys play the game the way it should be played, I only hope that we continue to see many more alliances THINK about what they are doing and following a strategy (e.g. Not just you score here, we score there, and you...idk). You guys were truly dominant as an alliance thanks to good robots, great strategy, and amazing driving. 2791 was THE pick of the tournament, made double balancing look easy, and played effective defense alongside 1519. Unfortunate things had to happen the way they did, but at the end of the day, you proved that defense DOES work in this game.
