1 decline: 2472 declined 3042

I've only been in FIRST for 4 years but the Elims at Lake Superior were the most insane, tense, close matches I have ever seen personally. The first 4 QF matches were all decided by less than 14 points. Each match was intense from beginning to end.

Every single matchup (except SF-2) went to 3 games. EVERY SINGLE ONE. The #1 Alliance (that would be us) originally lost the 3rd QF match but because of a pedestal not lighting up, we got a second chance and won.

Elims were a defensive war of attrition. 706 got their pick up arms bent 4 different times. 3313 tipped over, broke our side panels, and had our electrical board drag on the ground the last Finals match. 2052 broke their shooter in the SF and still ended up being champions. 1816 had to fix their shooter. 3018 had a radio go flying. And those are just the stories I've heard. I am 100% sure there are many others.

3313 ended up playing 24 matches in one weekend including 10 Elimination matches. Not sure often that happens.

It was awesome.
