The play-by-play was not good. If you're going to use newbie play-by-play announcers, please, please team them up with veteran announcers. Poor play-by-play really drags down the quality of the event, especially to the outsiders we're trying to impress. Good play-by-play makes the regional sound like the exciting high-stakes high-energy competition it is, poor play-by-play makes it sound like some hokey high school thing.

238 was in the replay of match #60, which apparently wasn't correctly entered back into the system, putting them at a 6-2 record when it should have been 7-1.
All I can say about the announcing, put Grady back on the mic next year, he's one of FIRST's best game announcers. The two announcers at this years event sounded like it was their first time at a FIRST regional, not to mention that they just plain weren't good at announcing in general.
