Re: Teams Missing from this Year's Championship

The first ever PNW District Season certainly seems to have done a great job of recognizing teams this year. That being said, the level of play was extremely competitive both on and off the field. In fact the minimum point cutoff for World Champs was 164.

Although I think the system accurately rewarded teams as a whole, I think there is a single team in my mind that unfortunately won't be moving on:

Bear Metal, 2046 had 151 points by the end of District Champs. Just getting into eliminations or winning an award would have been enough for them to qualify. A team who came out of the gates week 1, not only winning the event, but Chairman's too, didn't make the cut.

I thought they might be 1 of 3 DCA winners. So I was even more surprised when they didn't win a single award. The robot itself, even when it saw issues was definitely at the least third alliance partner material.

It's a shame their season is done, but I know they'll be back at the top again next year!
