Our alliance at Great Lakes was 292, 45, 235.

Our alliance at Championships was 45, 111, 84.

People talk about "changing the rules" being a bad thing. This was not. 1999 was brutal, and FIRST decided to give each alliance a backup robot.

I stand corrected. That's interesting that such a massive rule change would take place mid season.

I do believe the alliances were only 2 teams at the NASA Ames Regional in 99 though.
