I would like to offer props for the volunteers at the BAE regional for admitting their mistake in the draft order, owning up to it, and redoing the draft.

This is unprecedented as far as I know, and it is an impossible situation.

On the one hand you know that when you redo the draft there’s a possibility that a team that made the finals first time around won't make it second time around. Which is utterly heartbreaking.

But on the other, 238 played by the rules, and deserved the right to draft as the #1 seed, breaking up what would've been a powerhouse alliance (20/121).

In an impossible situation, I think the volunteers should be commended for owning up to their mistake and doing what was right by the rules, even if it added more time, and led to some heartbreak for a few teams.

And for the record it was an absolute travesty that 467 somehow didn’t make the finals the second time around, they were absolutely one of the 24 best teams at BAE, and should be watched out for at Chesapeake. I think some of the drafting teams really missed the boat. Great robot guys!
