Probably one of the better event lighting setups anywhere, period.
I'm sure there are a lot of pictures around. One of the coolest things about the MTL Regional was that there were professional video crews, light crews, and camera men EVERYWHERE. Out of all of the events I've attended, this one felt like someone was actually filming a movie. When we arrived Thursday morning, a lot of us had some concern about the smoke that filled the air (it was used to reflect the lighting for a rave-like effect) especially given the fact that most of us were using LED rings to sense feedback from the hoops. Fortunately, this didn't seem to be a problem for anyone. One small issue we did have though was that, as you can see in the above photo, the area immediately around the field was completely dark! The field and stands were completely surrounded by large black curtains, and the house lights were turned off completely to enhance the dramatic field spot lights.

Here's a picture our friend Karthik took.
