Please tell us what you liked or what could have been done better, concerning the 2009 Championship's that ends today.

The rounds at Archimedes seemed to run on or ahead of time.

The GA Dome seemed very clean and had a new look to it with all new seats and new video screens everywhere including the bathrooms. Security at the entrances seemed good and I didn't notice anybody getting hassled.

Opening ceremony sound was not loud enough. I was slightly disappointed at no surprise speaker.

It is very difficult to read the match or team numbers on the field video screen, the video screens in the stands or on my TV at home. Perhaps these can be rearranged to allow them to be larger?

The weather was wonderful with a slight chill in the morning though. I saw many people playing ball or Frisbee or just laying on the ground in the courtyard relaxing.

The GA Aquarium was a wonderful experience at a fantastic price with only "First" people in attendance. The Titanic artifact exhibit inside the aquarium (extra charge), was well worth seeing for those like me that are into that sort of history.

I was extremely happy with the NASA Web video feeds even though they showed the announcer and not the teams, when the final Einstein Championship match score was announced. We didn't get to see the teams reaction. The NASA TV feeds were good however they went to "This Week At NASA" prior to showing the final Championship match score. Again, no celebration shot.

On a personal note, I was very happy and proud of my team 1002 The CircuitRunners performance in the Archimedes qualification matches ending up 8th out of 87 teams. I was also pleased when they selected team 2415, The Westminster Wiredcats. I believe that was both teams first trip to the Championship elimination round.

Thanks again to Chief Delphi for providing us this forum.

What about you? How was your travel experience to and from Atlanta? How was your Atlanta transportation, hotel and overall impressions of Atlanta?
