The Midwest Regional this year was the best I have seen.
Congrats to Cyber Blue on Chairman's, I'm pulling for you at Nationals.
Thanks to all the teams we played with and especially to 27 and 74. You are great competitors and we are always happy to play with you. Congrats to 45, 269, 930 & 65, 447, 648, those last few matches were intense. You had the house jumping during those matches.
It is always great to see old friends and to make some new ones. I am sorry I didn't get a chance to say Hi to everyone. The Brazilian team, 383, was very happy to be here and I was very happy to see them travel so far. I was very impressed that they did well and got into the finals. I was cheering for you guys. Congrats to St. Pat's, 101, for a really great showing this year. You guys continue to amaze me each year and this year you were the most competitive I have seen thus far. Keep up the good work from a alumnus who is always watching.
Hope to see most if not all of you at Nationals in a few weeks. Good luck to everyone!
