Thank you to the teams and FIRST members showing their support for our team during an incredibly difficult experience for our team and alliance. Their support made what was the worst experience in FIRST I have ever had slightly more bearable. I think it is more than fair to say that nobody on Team 1323 is currently in any state of mind to write a cohesive, detailed response about what happened during semifinals. However, we will share the facts from our story when we have had more time to think about what happened today. Please refrain from jumping to conclusions about what occurred based on rumors or hearsay.

All I will say right now is that telling our students that their season is over because of a loss is difficult. Telling our students that their season is over because of a situation like this is a decision I cannot begin to understand.
