From one Eagle team to another, can't wait to see you guys up at Davis!

[Michael Corsetto]

1678 cannot wait to compete this weekend! Our students have been iterating all aspects of our operations, from Chairman's presentation to robot subsystems to webcasting. Expect an even more streamlined 1678 for the 2014 Sacramento Regional!

With such a long list of teams, I expect the field to be one of the deepest in CA. Elimination matches will be anyone's game, especially this year with alliance synergy and foul points playing key roles in match outcomes.

See everyone Thursday!

I'm excited! A lot of names I recognize in that list, and many that I don't. Always nice to see familiar faces and always nice to meet the rookies.

We've been hard at work on our robot since ship day, and are ready to bring it! Should be a fun one.

Like Mike said, this regional is looking much deeper than it has in the past. 1678, 971, 1671, et al are all looking really good coming in. At least one lucky finalist captain will likely get the wildcard slot 1678 brings to this regional from IE. I sure hope this regional transcends it's reputation for being the CA "defense regional," especially with what's considered "defense" this year. Let's have a fun, clean regional, without too many controversial tech fouls!

I'm watching the webstream, and it says "Inland Empire q1" as the match number. I'm just pointing it out to eliminate potential confusion for other viewers.

Another note, TBA seems to have the wrong schedule, I believe the correct one is here: http://www2.usfirst.org/2014comp/eve...eduleQual.html
EDIT: Fixed

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with the live scoring. Please bear with us while we fix server issues.

In Q8, 2 missed auto balls for the blue alliance were placed into the low goal in teleop, and each one was scored for 6 points.

EDIT: This was the real score shown on the scoreboard, not the score shown by 1678

[Caleb Sykes]

In Q9, 1671 (blue alliance) shot a missed auto ball into the high goal in teleop for 15 points.

[Caleb Sykes]

Q10, blue scores in the low goal in teleop with a missed auto ball for 6 points.

All of the online results appear to be down...

Livestream overlay appears to be one match ahead of regional. Otherwise, looks great.

[Caleb Sykes]

Was the issue of teleop scores getting the auto bonus resolved? I did not see many matches after Q10. At least one of the matches (Q8) that I saw had the outcome affected by this issue, as red likely would have won instead of the alliances tying.
