I think that the folks that helped put on the Annapolis Regional deserved a round of applause.

The venue was excellent: the Naval Academy was perfect! The food was good, the pits were located in a great location to the field, and there was plenty of space.

I'd particularly like to thank the judges and referees: they had their hands full with a couple *really* close matches.

I'd also like to thank team 836 and team 316: we made a great alliance, and it was fun while it lasted.

I hope team 303 can go to this regional next year: it was great, and I had a really fun time.

Thank you all for an exciting and fun regional.
