Re: So which one is more exciting? Regionals or the Championship?

The regionals (Peachtree & Boilermaker) we went to this year seemed more exciting! The final matches (4 of them, 1 was a tie) at the Boilermaker were unbelievable. Team #71 fell over with a little help, and most people thought the other alliance had won the finals but that was not the case.

Confined spaces make all the cheering seem louder and you can concentrate on one field. Having so many people at the Championship's means you have to sit so far from Einstein for the finals. Having Sir Charles do the play by play at the Peachtree for all the matches made it even better! Winning the Chairman's award at the Peachtree didn't hurt!
