I felt this was a great use of the district's second field. Thank you!
The elimination matches were so intense with many tie-breakers. We had a great time and we are looking forward to seeing our fellow PNW teams in St. Louis.

Thank you to the FTA's and anyone else involved with the setup and maintenance of the practice field!

I was thrilled that we were able to fit a practice field perfectly in the Pits. I had a ton of fun getting to work with the teams and help officiate practice matches so teams remember the rules when they go out on to the main arena.
(Plus the megaphone was a huge plus)
