Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional

I am extremely proud of the teams at Davis this weekend. I saw a lot of classy act all weekend.

2159 graciously stepped down from alliance captain because they missed a lot of matches on Friday and did not think they deserved to be in that position. So when alliance selection came, they got on the field and said so. That took a lot of guts. I also saw another team struggling to decide whom to pick (probably because they did not expect to be an alliance captain), and I saw one of 115's member rushed over with their scouting laptop to give that team valuable scouting info. That was another classy act. That's not to mention all the things that happens at a regional competition on and off the field.

All in all, you were incredible!

The matches really got going once we were in the finals! Lots of hurdling robots, lots of action, lots of interesting defense. It was great!


On a side note, I like to humbly thank our MC for letting me follow him onto the field for a while, practicing announcing the teams. That was a lot of fun. I've always dreamed of doing that at an event. Who knows, I might try to do more, and if I do, it will definitely be better next time. I would like to suggest, though, that some of the flag poles be made lighter...

(Now if anyone have any picture... I would love to get them )
