That was a great event! Thank you to all the teams for moving things along quickly and helping to keep us running a smooth event this weekend. Even with match replays we still finished on time or ahead of schedule each day.

Congratulations to the winning alliance of 2122, 3309, and 5059. A special thank you to 2122 for making this ref's job easy, despite all those totes flying through the chute your human player always made it obvious that he was not going to get a penalty with them. It was also great to chat with all of your mentors and parents who volunteered at the event.

Congrats to the Finalists including 3785 and 1726 who qualified for the World Championship with Wild Card slots.

And congratulations to 2375 on a well deserved Chairman's Award. Your video was well done and was a great way to package up the dragon theme running through your team.


For all the Arizona teams, attached is my final Arizona State Championship projections based on the data I have. Teams highlighted in green won the Chairman's Award at an event and receive an automatic bid to the State Championship. All teams submitting for the Chairman's Award at any event receive a 10 performance point bonus but this data is not published so I have entered this for teams that have been mentioned as having submitted on ChiefDelphi. My sheet does not handle all tiebreakers for teams with identical performance point totals, as written it does not look at Best Elimination Round Finish (2nd order sort) or the match score sorts (5th-9th order sort). Take this as a close estimation, if you are in the top 20 teams I would count on an invitation but everyone below that is a question mark. Having submitted for the Chairman's Award is a huge factor for those with lower point totals as it can change your ranking by almost 15 places. The current cutoff sits at 19 points.

If you see any corrections needed or know of teams that submitted for Chairman's but aren't listed as doing so please let me know.
