+1. 20 truly constructed the best alliance possible and all three teams executed on it quite impressively. From the time alliance selection finished, I knew whoever won the first semifinal series would win the event.

Let's not forget Bridgewater-Raritan, where Mount Olive winners 1676 and 5624 reunited to take home a banner from the #7 spot (again), upsetting the #1 alliance in finals. 1676 played some quality defense and 5624 could take down the tower singlehandedly (even at Champs); they were quite the pairing. I get a kick out of the fact that 1257 brought them together at Mount Olive and then lost to them at Bridgewater.

Re: Biggest upsets of 2016

Is no one going to mention Einstein Finals 3? 120-2481-330 vs. 1690-2056-1405, finals match 3 score was 225-225 and the champion title was awarded to teams 120-2481-330 for playing the cleaner match. (Both amazing alliances, by the way, but the crowd was in an uproar!)

"Upset" generally implies the underrated alliance won. Both alliances here were excellent, and it's hard to say one was heavily favored over the other to win the series.

Ah well then I agree 100% with Curie playoffs

I was interpreting the term upset as "people were upset about it", carry on

Re: Biggest upsets of 2016

Not really a match but 4130 was upsetting not bevahse of there team but how it played out. I was at Kettering #2 and they were just killing those defenses. It's a shame that they didn't make it to states and even worlds. They really had a solid defense destroyer robot.

This thread is dedicated to the notion of an upset as an unexpected win in a game/sport. While there could be a conversation on losses we're all disappointed about this season, this is meant to be a discussion of against-the-odds victories.

Wow, I didn't expect that semi-final match from the 2016 10,000 lakes regional to be on there. I'm surprised the win likelihood was only 2.6% for blue alliance.
