Re: 2013 Peachtree Regional
1648 reporting in after the event.
For a historically weak event, some of those elimination scores were off the charts.
And talk about upsets. I believe it was the 7th seed facing off against the 5th seed. While it was unfortunate to see the greats fall (624, 2415, 1261), those finals were awesome.
Now for our thank yous:
- 281: You guys are an awesome defensive machine. Unfortunately we couldn't overcome our inconsistencies and power past semis, but let's not dwell on what could have been.
- 2415: Not much of a thank you, but I'm excited for your next event. Someone keep an eye on these guys. Here's to hoping that one year, you guys will have a fully functioning machine at P'tree.
- 624: You guys gave everyone at P'tree a good run for our money. Hopefully this won't deter you guys from paying us a visit in the future.
- 4509: It's an embodiment of the old 1771, and I can say that they seriously haven't lost a step.
- 4468: Taking home three awards in your rookie berth? Not fair at all. These guys are super stellar and I can see them taking home a chairmans in just a few years. Also, you guys were excellent neighbors.
- 1261: Talk about killing the gremlins. You guys were legit top 2-3 robots by the end of quals and it was truly unfortunate that you guys didn't take it all the way.
Pros of the event:
- It seemed much smoother than last year.
- Full practice field (AMAZING).
- Awesome referees.
Cons of the event:
- Seating
- Seating
- Seating
Oh, and did I mention seating?
In all honesty, when I can't reach the top of the stands because people are sitting in the stairs, that's a problem. The venue is excellent, but I'd consider a change simply to rectify this situation.
For now,
- Sunny G.
