Positive Experiences with Dominant Teams

[Walter Deitzler]

610. 610. 610.

This year at championships, I did not have a team, I was basically walking around spectating. On Thursday afternnon, I had been evicted from the seat I was sitting in a couple times by teams who were having teammates fill up the area. (I did not mind, they were gracious for letting me sit there for a while, as I was not an active participant in champs, I figured I should let teams sit together.)

Now, after moving away from one of the teams, I was looking for a place to sit, and saw that 610 had an open seat. I asked if I could sit there, and, much to my pleasure, they said I could (Thanks Edwin). Now, after I had been sitting there for a while, another member of team 610 came down and proceeded to sit next to me. This member, who later would become one of my best friends, offered me, a complete stranger, some of his popcorn. I never left that team that whole weekend. Everyday, I would go in and sit near my friend Adam. Saturday, when his team was taking up their spots in the bleachers, he moved to sit next to my dad and I, in the middle of team 118, whom they beat soon afterwords. Once their team advanced to Einstein, he allowed me to sit WITH HIS TEAM while they competed. I was with them when they won champs. It was the second best moment of my life.

610 was so great to me, I thank them so much.
