Re: Pre-ship scrimmage at Chatsworth high, comments thoughts.....

Small bugs can bog down even the best of us, but we simply could not get enough time on the field with all the problems with the arena controls and soforth. The matches started over two hours late, and at least for the first few matches it was 35 minutes between, and in our first match we had no data/radio problems that no one could address because the schedule was too far behind. In a total of 4 hours of attendance, we got about 50 seconds of driving time and two matches observed. Our time there was mostly waiting. At the current rate of matches, we would have been waiting almost two hours for another two uncertain minutes. So, we left at 1:45pm and went back to school and practiced non-stop until 6:00 PM.

Nothing against the organizers of the event, it just made more sense for us to get the most time we could on our machine.


So, does anyone have a synopsis of the rest of the matches?
