In 2013 we went 1-2 in qualifying on Curie; in 2014 we met in the Newton division finals. We gave the Skunks half of our Einstein passes both years to bolster our cheering section (and hope they return the favor when they make it.)

We look to the Skunks for how to run our team. What's there not to like when they win 6 Blue Banners in one season before Champs?
I think there is a third team that has been in the division with us those 3 years; 3539. I need to find a tshirt trade with both 3539 and 1678 while we are still permitted to see each other at the same event.
