I think I'll stick to talking about the Canadian events because those are the ones I payed the most attention to. I apologize in advance for my spelling of the word "favourite".

Best qualifications performance: 3161. As far as I know, no team other than 1114 or 2056 has been the first seed at a Canadian regional since 2007 (possibly even farther back). Everyone knows what happened at Toronto West, but if it hadn't been for some bad luck in their final two qualification matches they could have finished first at Waterloo too.

Favourite match: Toronto East Finals. Personally, I found the finals at Toronto East more exciting than the ones at West. 610, 188 and 3360 put up 100 points in the quarters and were triple balancing easily. It was the first time I thought that the dynamic duo (featuring 1219) looked beatable. Overall I was impressed by how much the second tier of Canadian teams improved this season. It made things exciting to watch.

Favourite alliance: The Eh team. I've never had so much national pride before, not even during the Vancouver Olympics.

Personal favourites: When one of our students won a Dean's List Finalist award in Waterloo. When our human player hit a basket to win the Queen City regional (although the alliance would have won on the penalty tiebreaker anyway).
