This will be 179's 3rd year in a row in Archimedes. Each year we lose to 217 in the finals. Thank God they're in Galileo.... Last year we beat them the first match, but they got us twice after that, then went on to win the whole thing...

I don't think its safe to assume the Veteran teams are going to do well. There will only be 6-7 seeding matches most likely. Therefore anybody can make it in the top 8. There are a lot of strong high number teams in this division, they have the advantage with the match algorithm pairings. Therefore they will most likely be putting together the alliance that goes to Einstien. Scouting will be at a premium. Its hard to judge 86 teams in just 6 matches. Better do your homework people!
