: the students on Beatty had enough sense not to go about their success in a bad or tactless way and cheer for the other side's lower score. I actually noticed that the cheering during the finals was in much good taste.
I agree. Since I couldn't reclaim my front row spot for the finals, I got stuck in a block of Beatty team members. They cheered a little (which is expected) when our alliance had no chance of winning, but not in an unprofessional manner. They saved their big cheers for when our score was announced and they were declaired the winner.
I also had a good time joking around with them in between matches. What other competition could boast the same claim?
Congrats to team 71 & their alliance and thanks for not harassing the stray Wildstang member too much
