Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional

I would like to thank the FTA for his willingness to help clarify any issues. The live scoring seemed to have malfunctioned in our first quarter-final and we wondered how we all of a sudden lost 20 points. We thought somebody forgot to count the coloured discs 3496 scored in the pyramid goal for our alliance. He was willing to look on the score sheet and talk to us to see if there were any goals that were miscounted. Turns out that it was just the live scoring that was wrong. Kudos to the FTA for looking into it!

I would also like to thank 2016 and 3496 for being great teammates. I was on the practice field during alliance selection and was thoroughly surprised when I found out that we were the 6th alliance with a great floor pick-up bot and a consistent climb-and-dumper. We went into our quarter-final matches confident that we had a high chance of winning the regional as a low-seeded alliance. We ended up falling in the quarters however to a strong third seed. That last match was incredibly hectic and exciting, and really could have gone either way depending on how the fouls would have been called. Incredible job on defence, 1126, you guys really made sure to keep us back in your own field!
