Re: Long Island Regionals: Results, "Story"

Student on team #250, Dynamos , from Colonie High. In Reply to: Long Island Regionals: Results, "Story" Posted by Kyle Hill on 03/10/2001 9:26 PM EST: Congradulations to all the teams in the finals! and a special thanks to our alliance partners teams 190,263,353 and 533. we rocked and took home first! i guess that some of it is luck (like John's shot to the goal that was described as "hail mary" , but driver talent helps too! good luck to all at other regionals and in florida!~shannon team 250 : Here's a recap from the SBPLI-Long Island Regionals. We call it "The Hail Mary". : Day 1 was a wash, and due to an extreme lack of luck or teammate ability, we finished 29th out of 33. Day 2 saw VAST improvement, as we scored 255 in the first match of the morning, breaking the record (previously 176). While our single-match record later fell, we somehow made it onto the 3rd seed alliance, and played... : Here's how it went in the semis. : Match 1 (Them): 48 points. Nothing goes right. : Match 2 (Us): 50 points. See above. : Match 3 (Us): Everything goes right. _400_. : Match 4 (Them): 408. One extra black ball was put in a goal. Without that ball, they have 399. : Match 5 (Us): We capped off both goals with big balls. 480 points. : (At this point, we're celebrating like mad, because we figure that A- they can't score 400 again and B- they sure as hell cant score 481.) : Match 6 (Them): They only put 6 or 7 black balls in the one goal, fetched both cylinders (one capped with a large ball) and pulled both up onto the ramp, and balanced it within 50 seconds. With a full goal, that easily would have scored them 550+, but the goal was half empty. Yet, as they timed out, one player from the station threw a "hail mary" ball into the goal on the ramp. It goes in. They got 490 points and won the semifinal. : The alliance then went on to win the championship over the 4th seeded alliance (nothing spectacular scoring-wise, the winning score was a little over 200). : The moral of the story? Luck means everything. |
