Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional

2809 had a great time this past weekend. Hopefully Kingston teams wont earn a reputation after 2809 and 4476 broke each other in sequential elimination matches.

Suggesting 2056 should pick someone else is not a well thought out idea. If there were an event later in the year with 781, 1241, 4476, 2809, 610 attending would you tell them not to pick each other as well so other teams could get the championship eligibility passed down to them if they win or are finalists?

To further on what Shawn said. I'm hoping that the wild card system will be expanded to pass down eligibility regardless of how the existing entry to championships was earned now that 1114 is a Hall of Fame team. Without this I see the typical 3rd to 10th canadian teams avoiding GTRE in the future and "letting" 1114 and 2056 take the first event. (Nobody wants to see GTRE 2011 ever again)

The only issue I have with 1114 and 2056 is that there are exactly two of them. If Ontario can get 3,4 or 24 teams consistently up to this level then we won't see this thread every year. For those of you across the border, it wasn't that long ago that you didn't have to be the Robodogs to come and visit. The total level of competition is definitely increasing but we've got some work to do still.
(Average points by team on friday to the best of our scouts ability [1114 started hanging consistently on saturday])


Congratulations to 781, 1241, 2056, 1114, 1325, 4476 on their success this weekend.
