Thanks. Wish we could have made it to Utah. Maybe next year. Good luck this weekend.

See you in Vegas. Good luck next weekend at Inland Empire.

Good call John! We were so close to having the Forbes alliance....

Congrats to you and the rest of your alliance, Jim! A well deserved win for sure.

Thanks Joe! I'll see you at the Vegas regional, cheering on the High Rollers, with Travis' folks. And my brother's team the Bit Buckets 4183 will be playing.

Good stuff Looking Forward. Us (125) and Gael Force (126) paired together to take down 3173 in the Finals.

Good luck to all teams competing this weekend.

PS- I would add 219, 222, and 193 into the mix for Mt. Olive district. 193 is MORT Beta and definitely will be a factor at this event.

As a follow up to this, 222 and 11 won the event as 1st and 2nd seed respectively. 193 was seeded 5th and captained the #4 alliance. Spectacular job. 219 was ranked 3rd at the event.

Very ominous prediction indeed! That said, (in reference to the earlier bit) I would definitely say that 229 broke out of the rut of "secondary scorer" once the elims started. In SF1-2 they put up 88 points by themselves. Very impressive. I hope they get to compete again in the official season.

Unfortunately 229 has played out their official season, unless they somehow get a slot in St. Louis. Luckily the other half of the Clarkson pair will be able to make their mark at Championships this year.

From what I've heard 229 really stepped up their game between BAE and Boston, It looks like the #1 alliance had some tough competition in those semi-final matches. I'm proud to hear that they turned up their offensive power, and came home with a Quality award.
