I'm curious if anybody got video of either the (inadvertent?) catch or the paused match, specifically after the pause (both matches from today). Just some crazy plays...

The foam material was definitely put on the rails before the matches started.

Yes, there certainly were some crazy plays and some very intense play in the eliminations!

2014 SCRRF Fall Classic Results

The biggest ever SCRRF Fall Classic event is in the books and it was a great pair of competitions!

Two separate tournaments were conducted: Saturday and Sunday editions of Aerial Assist.

Thirty-eight teams participated in the Fall Classic: 26 on Sat, 21 on Sunday with11 teams competing on both days.
Several teams brought two (or more) robots, resulting in a total of 44 robots in the competition!

Network connectivity issues with the tablet-based automatic scoring system impacted scoring and ranking on Sat.
Still the teams were able to compete in 5 qual matches, followed by a final four elimination round.

Here are the Saturday results:



The scoring process and smaller field on Sunday allowed teams to play 7 qualification matches.
Double elimination semifinals were run for the final four tournament.

Here are the Sunday results:



Kudos:
Event registration and pit manager: LeRoy Nelson
Field Managers: Andy Crick, Chris Husmann. and Joe Petito
MC/Game Announcers: George Chen (Saturday) and Jojo Aguilar (Sunday)
Field Supervisor: Terry Wells
Referees: Laurene Abato-earwood, Chuck Bergh, James Montgomery, Eric Husmann (Sat & Sun) and Austin Shalit (Sat & Sun)

Thanks go to Team 4470 and the administration of Valencia High School for providing a great venue for a very successful event.

If I may suggest a few corrections to the results:

The eliminations bracket isn't quite correct. The scores are correct, but the alliance numbers are not. Doesn't affect the end results at all.

The #4 alliance was 9012, 9696, 330, 5012 and the #3 alliance was 4964, 1138, 294, and 687.

SF1-1 was 1v4 and concluded with a score of 106-96 and SF2-1 was 2v3 with a score of 215-60.

Gryffingear enjoyed the event. The change of venue this year was very refreshing(coming from a long-time participant in the event). We'd like to thank the following entities:

Team 4470 and Valencia High School. Thanks for hosting the event! Valencia was a good venue for this event with a spacious pit and a nice short walk between the pits and arena!

Our Saturday Alliance Partners, 330 Beach Bots and 696B Circuit Breakers. It was a fun run in the sudden-death semifinal round. It's always fun to work with two of Socal's powerhouses!

Our Sunday Alliance Partners, 599 RoboDox and 687 Nerd Herd. Thanks for assisting us in 5012's first trip to the finals at any event! Hopefully we can cross paths again in the future!

Mark Liu from 2485: Thanks a lot for machining some new parts for us last minute. Truly a lifesaver. These parts were critical in getting 5012's second robot operational for matches. Also thank you for taking the trek from San Diego to volunteer. I bet there wasn't a team in the arena on Saturday that didn't benefit from your assistance.

Thanks, Jeremy!

I made updates to the results post just above yours.

I agree the venue, Team 4470 and Valencia HS admin knocked it our of the park for the Fall Classic!

Mark Liu was certainly a big help as well - added him to the "Kudos" list.

I understand that Valencia High School (I think) was recording all matches on both days. Is it possible to get the footage?

Correct source of recording, and it's funny, I asked about that shortly after the event. http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1...events/3421488 should work.
