but it ended up OK for us, didn't it? Pittsburgh was tight.
Are there other regionals with right around 24--or less? For whoever didn't come to Pittsburgh and didn't know how this was handled, 7 alliances were chosen, and the first seed got a bye into semi-finals. Good job 395 and partners 1038 and rookie 1743!
Nice meeting everyone; I'm sure we'll keep bumping into each other.
