I'd like to extend my thank you to Team 254, Bellarmine College Prep, and all of the Chezy Champs volunteers for putting on this event. Chezy Champs has been an event that Team 696 has looked forward to every year for the past three years, and we hope that we can attend again next year! This year the event continued to run in its very polished ways, from the teams to competing to those who allowed us to be able to compete. Thank you all for your hard work in making the 2016 Chezy Champs as amazing as we all knew it would be. We understand the level of coordination and planning needed to make an event of this scale run so smoothly, and we appreciate it all.

Thank you to the referees, volunteers, and FTA crews who helped us along the way this past weekend. We were constantly plagued through Saturday and Sunday by intermittent controls systems issues that we have yet to repeatably replicate, but the support and generosity shown was very gracious of them to offer. To the GameSense crew, your work and coverage of Chezy Champs has been impeccable and only been getting better. For us, being featured on the big screen was an honor and a pleasure to be a part of.

To our elimination partners of 254, 973, and 5924, thank you for inviting us to join your alliance. We had a great time playing with you all, and being able to collaborate with you opened our eyes to how the best teams operate in eliminations. We played in the semifinals when our alliance captain was down, and being able to even stand on the same side of the glass with these teams was an experience in itself. Thank you for the opportunity to play despite our spotty performance during qualifications.

Congratulations of course to 971, 1678, 604, and 2135. Your alliance displayed immense scoring abilities on the field, and it was a delight to watch those matches. To the third alliance of 4488, 3250, 1868, and 2073, you put on a wonderful show in semifinals against our alliance and within the finals. Your alliance was another formidable collection of teams amongst the many others at Chezy Champs.

Thanks for bringing together the Best in the West!
