IRI exceeded my expectations. It has to be the best event I have ever been to. It was extremely well planned, the volunteers were the nicest group of volunteers I've had to work with. It seemed like everyone knew what was going on and there wasn't the confusion that most resetters and queuers run into at some point in the competition.
First I'd like to thank
2775, 2056 and 148... This was by far the best alliance I have ever played on. All four of us had a TON of offensive potential and worked together very well. We kept every match close. Anyone of those matches could have gone either way. I hope we all get the chance to play together again.
To JVN and the rest of 148... Your experience and fire power were great to have on our alliance. I was surprised to see you guys available in the 3rd round, you were a steal. You gave us a lot of depth. Oh, and Mark (148's Human Player),
you are the patron saint of human players...
Thanks to Greg Needel and 2775 for picking us. You guys are one of the top rookies of 2009. Greg did a great job at conducting the alliance when we put in 148. I'm not sure QF1-2 could have had a chance at ending in our favor without him keeping everyone on the same page. I look forward to see what you guys will do in the future.
To Tyler Holtzman and 2056... You guys are an elite team. You guys are probably one of the most prepared and focused teams in all of FRC. Your human player was great to have in the outpost. He was a great shot, well disciplined and was by far the easiest human player to get empty cells from.
