You Guess: Event with 'Most Competitive' Elimination Matches

This past weekend, Week 4, there was only one event that had every single Semifinal match score over 100 AND had two alliances eliminated in the Quarterfinals with QAs from those matches over 100 (i.e. 6 alliances had QAs above 100)... descriptive of an event that was competitive from the beginning to end of elims.

The event may surprise you... it wasn't an event with the perennially-elite powerhouses, a field perceived as being especially deep, or with a long team list. It wasn't Waterloo, Sacremento, Bayou, or Wisconsin. Nor was it Purdue, West Michigan, or Rhode Island. Most of these events came close to meeting both these categories... but only one met them both (I think the first such event)... The UNH District here in New Hampshire.

Very proud of the depth of field that made it possible for UNH to be so competitive throughout... despite the weirdness with those Finals matches! Wish I'd been able to attend and see it in person!

*As a sidenote, I'm not saying that the winning alliance at UNH was stronger than the winning alliance at Waterloo, Sacremento, or wherever else... just pointing out the depth of field necessary to accomplish this, particularly at a small event.
