Troy. 33, 67, 217, 245, 469, 548, 910, 1718, 1918, 3539. That is so stacked.

Re: ???Toughest Michigan Event???

Troy, without a shadow of a doubt. Just look at the team list:
1
33
66
67
216
217
226
244
245
288
453
468
469
519
548
894
910
1188
1250
1596
1718
1918
2604
2851
2960
3302
3398
3539
3548
3568
3619
3657
3667
4002
4044
4130
4380
4382
4384
4395

For toughness, it's hard to beat the combination of 33, 67, 217, 245, 469, 910, 1718, and 3539 at one event.

Re: ???Toughest Michigan Event???

No doubt this year that Troy is the toughest to win this year.. Maybe some preview MSC alliances?

Re: ???Toughest Michigan Event???

It's not a stretch to say that Troy has most (>50%) of the best Michigan teams. It's definitely the toughest Michigan district.

However, MSC will be the toughest Michigan event (going by the thread title).

Re: ???Toughest Michigan Event???

Troy, in my opinion, has always been the hardest regional to win just with the presence of 217, 67, and 469. 2 of these 3 teams usually team up and win it. 910 has always been apart of it but now that 1918 is coming to town...yeah, it's gonna be crazy.

Saying that, I think this is the best event that any team in Michigan can and should participate in. No, you probably won't win it, but you can see how the real powerhouse teams compete here. Yes, you can also do that at MSC, but that tends to be a little crazier and you never know, you might not get the chance to compete there.

After saying that though, hardest Michigan event is MSC. Heck, I'd be willing to say the hardest regular season tournament is MSC (even harder than the World Championships...most years). I can say this because my rookie year was in 2009, watching Einstein with 67, 217, 247, and 68 all there. We also had the privilege to compete against 67 and 217 in both of their districts and to work along side 217 during build season.

Re: ???Toughest Michigan Event???

Troy by far. I've been saying for years the only teams missing to make it a State Championship preview were 67 and 1918, and they're coming this year. I am legitimately terrified of this line up. But it will be awesome to watch and referee.

Re: ???Toughest Michigan Event???

We, 548 decided to go to Troy because it was the hardest district(or regional qualifier?). We figured if we can compete here we can compete anywhere.
