Re: 2008 Microsoft Seattle Regional
I would have to agree with you that the event has been awesome!!
I really enjoy the atmosphere and how remarkably smooth the regional
has been run.

I was expecting a lot less out of this competition after hearing all the
chatter about the inconsistencies with refs and rules. So far at the Microsoft Seattle Regional, I haven't seen any rulings that would be considered more than mildly controversal. The interactions with the judges and refs have been nothing but pleasant.

Having a small field of 31 teams really shortens the turnaround time between
matches. A few times after matches, our pit crew had to run a fresh battery to our field team that was waiting in line for their next match.

Your team did a nice job of being the team to set the current high score for the regional.
