I would just like to encourage anyone who has considered the Arizona west regional but didn't make it to Flagstaff this year to give it a try next year. The surroundings are beautiful, the event well run, the organizing team and volunteers were great. At this point I am just hoping that our inaugural Idaho regional can meet the standard that Arizona North set. To the organizing team and the volunteers - thank you all for your efforts and for creating such a great event for the teams.

We had a blast with the teams and really enjoyed seeing the qualification alliance cooperation that enabled so many tower captures. We really wish that we could have played more with the great folks on 842, 1011, 1619, 2486, 2996, and 3250, but were very thankful for our elimination alliance partners - the great defense that the Cobra Commanders (498) played, and the steady high goal scoring and breaching that the Nutrons (125) provided to get our alliance through the championship rounds.

Thank you all for your contributions to a great event.
