According to them, it was more than the biggest sporting event in our state! To experience that as their first FIRST competition was amazing. I can honestly say, that I don't think any of them will ever forget that excitement.
That was similiar to what happened at the Michigan State Championships. There ended up being 4 matches, with 1 tie (18-18!), and I must say that there was more energy in that arena than any sporting event I have been to.

Although the most exciting matches I have watched were the finals of Detroit this year. Everyone at that event were on the edges of their seats during those three final matches. Unfortunately there were no ties :/

The tie for Quarterfinal 3, Match 1 at the Florida Regional is nowhere to be found (Not on FRC website or TBA), Though this might be available with a bit of digging. (FMS Tweets or FRC Spy)
That's the problem that my team has experienced also. Even though we show 8 ties during qualification rounds, we actually have 2 ties under our elimination record that aren't shown.

What's interesting is that TBA shows the MSC finals tie, but not others from various events...
