Thank you to Southington for putting on a terrific inaugural district.
A big tip of Jack's hat to Sandra Brino. The Woody Flowers nomination is but a small token of our gratitude for the complete package that you and your many dedicated colleagues delivered.

Congratulations to Team 195 The CyberKnights, 558 Robo Squad, and 999 The MechaRams. Your awesome third Finals match was a clinic of offense and defense.
999 were Rookie All-Stars back in 2002, and got their first trophy today.

Kudos to the Finalist alliance of Team 230 the Gaelhawks, 2836 Team Beta, and 4055 Northwestern Robotics Gearheads.

I love the district model and this game, for all of it's contrivances and difficulties, has a great flow with emphatic peaks when played well.

My livestream feed died partway thru selections as well as several other times during the day. Irksome to say the least.
