MAR FIRST Springside Chestnut Hill District Competition

[Lil' Lavery]

Wow, that one was heck of an event! One of the most fierce and dramatic elimination tournaments I've seen in a long time. With only 34 teams, I was blown away by how competitive every alliance managed to be.

Does anyone know if the webstream was archived, or if a team filmed every match?

Some thanks and congrats to give out:

357 - Thanks for helping us out with scouting through the entire weekend. Your system was certainly very impressive, and I know our scouts learned a lot about what can be accomplished. You saved us a great deal of heartburn!

1218 - Thanks for hosting. It was a great venue and a great event. You guys were absolutely incredible on and off the field all weekend.

225/316/1495 - You guys were a truly amazing alliance. It was a pity we couldn't get a match against each other with both alliances at full strength, but I have no doubt whatsoever the best alliance in the tournament ended up as the victors. 225, you guys were incredibly friendly and forthcoming all weekend, and I'm glad to see your resurgence has continued. 1495, it's awesome to see how much you improved after Hatboro-Horsham. Your defense was top notch.

4373 & 3974 - It was a pleasure working with both of you during the eliminations. You were as supportive and easy to work with as could be imagined. Both of your teams are going to go far in the coming years. Hope we can work together again.

Last and certainly not least, 4342. Sending a student representative with our alliance's to the question box to clarify the scoring error in QF1-3 is one of the most tremendous displays of gracious professionalism I have ever seen. You guys truly get what this program is all about. We cannot thank you enough for your outstanding sportsmanship on and off the field. Our matches with and against you all weekend were hard fought and exciting.
