It went very fast. Overall, it looked pretty good. We were watching at CK Diggs, so the audo was tough to follow.
A couple of points I would like to see for next year.
1. Instant replays of deciding quarterfinal factors so that all 24 teams get a quick shout out. This would eat up about 6-8 minutes, but I think it would be nice to "set" the stage.
2. Live scoring total. They didn't have the live score posted, so it was difficult to tell what the score was until the end of the match. I know two minutes isn't that long to wait, but a live tally really helps.

Otherwise, the action seemed fast paced and very captured very well. I am excited to watch it again.

Oh, I was just reminded. A special thanks to Paul Copioli. He did an excellent job on the play by play. I wish you guys could have heard his quarterfinal analysis as we were practicing the instant replays. There was a higher variety of key moments in the quarters than just minibots and ubertubes. Anyone who watched/listened to Waterloo knew that PC was the right person for the job.
