Re: 2015 Greater Toronto Central Regional (GTRC)
This was a great regional. A strong and friendly group of volunteers kept things running very smoothly. We would have preferred more than 10 qualifying matches with only 42 teams, but this minor gripe didn't take anything away from a fabulous event. Having the event right in downtown Toronto in one of Canada's most historic buildings added some real prestige to the entire show.
We had a great time playing 610 for the first time ever. There's been many times where we've been close to ending up on the same alliance as them, and it was nice to see it finally happen. They were incredibly well built, consistent, and filled a specific need for our alliance. Their "Canburgling" allowed us to focus on our own stacking.
It was also a blast playing with our longtime friends and sister team, Where's Waldo. They displayed a lot gracious professionalism and were willing to fill any role that our alliance needed to help bring home a blue banner. I expect them to be a huge asset to teams at the Chesapeake Regional especially with their new membership on #TeamTether.
