2015 Denver CO Regional

[rclothier]

This was our (1723) first trip to the Colorado Regional, and I'd like to complement the organizers for a well-run event. The venue was spacious, the judges and volunteers were great, and it all seemed to run like clockwork.

Thanks to our Alliance mates, 4499 and 5318, for being awesome stackers. Our scouts spent a lot of time finding the right teams for us to work with, so we could focus on capping stacks, and you two were perfect. And 4499's three-stack autonomous was an adrenaline shot to start each match. They also custom-printed us a spacer to get our lift working between the first and second match of the quarterfinals, otherwise we might have been dead in the water. Congrats on the Chairman's Award, 4499. We'll see both of you in St. Louis!

Finally, congratulations to the #1 Alliance, Up-A-Creek, Team Driven, and Rapid Acceleration. Our scores in the Finals would have won the KC Regional (our first event), but going up against a team that scores 200 points a match, there's nothing you can do but tip your cap. You guys deserved it. Well done.

Thanks Colorado!
