Well.. there goes 275 mark.. even though its with penalties, still ridiculous.

I realize that. My point is that the REST of Canada is as strong as we are, because we are forever trying to best them. Without 1114 and 2056 this wouldn't be this good, because 1241, 610, 3683, 1310, 4039 and more wouldn't have such a high bar to strive toward.

The most interesting point of that match is that if the top few teams all stay undefeated or one loss, 2056/1114 should have the top spot because of the large amount of TP now.

Well with 1114 and 2056 playing against each other twice (Match 48 and 60), if 610 can win match # 52, and go undefeated.

It changes the whole dynamic. I will surely be tuning in for those three matches.

This would have been ok if 1114 and 2056 only played each other once, but twice.. thats rough.

The odds of someone being tied in autonomous points are very slim.

Earlier the top 3 teams had the same AP score. But yeah, it's starting to separate now.

Everybody in Waterloo scares me.

I can't stop watching.

Too good.

Says the guy on 1986, as yet undefeated in 2013, 3rd highest OPR in the world.

Only in Canada can you score 134 and lose... This is amazing.

1114 and 2056 have driven everybody to do better, and just about everyone has. The scores I am seeing roll across the scoreboard are insane. 4 straight 100+ point qual matches. Including a foul-free 117-117 match that did not involve 2056, 1114, or 610.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the high score is currently 64 through 26 qualification rounds.

I am truly glad that the Wild Card rule is now in place, and the second tier of Canadian talent gets to qualify for the World Championship even if they can't pull the upset. I have a feeling you will see multiple Canadian robots on Einstein this year.

That's how it should be. :-)

That is tough! We thought we (885 - 1519 - 133) had it tough posting 123 points and losing to a score of 157 in the Granite State Regional's Semifinal against the 610 - 4124 - 3609 alliance, but the 134 points scored in the Waterloo Qualifying match #41 is even more incredible! The highest / tightest losing qualification match score in NH was only 81 points to a winning score of 83 points (151, 229, 1519 over 319, 610, 3467 in match #59.)

In any case, after 610 bested us fair and square in the New Hampshire semifinals, we're rooting for them in Waterloo this weekend and are hoping they can go undefeated this time!

Definitely a great regional to watch via the webcast!

1241 wasnt in that 117-117 match either

As of Q43:
Waterloo winning alliance average score 111
Waterloo LOSING alliance average score 48

Montreal winning alliance qualifications average score: 64.

There will be riots in the FIRST community if these matches aren't archived on YouTube.

The competition is high, the announcers are exciting and engaging, and the music selection is great. I need to make a trip to Canada in the next few years.

Dunno about youtube, but Bochek and the WFN folks have been posting the Canadian regionals to www.watchfirstnow.com/archive.php using vimeo.
