Mike, hate to burst your bubble, but the #2 seed alliance in Archimedes, 201, 47, and 547, beat 111's alliance in one of the two matches in the Archimedes finals. Not enough to win by, but it was a win.

[J2Kraatz]

greatest moment was watching one of my sister teams go and try to win their division.

Good try 201 and Jeff.

Watching my rookie team excel to the one rank in the Newton division.

Sharing a great time with every one.

You’re so mean!

And you know they could have been the only rookies in the finals too. And they very well could have won too, but no.. you just had to take pleasure in destroying us yet again.

And people say I’m mean for being excited when you guys got flipped at PARC .

And our alliance wasn't even undefeated when we met up with 201's alliance. We only won a single "match 2" all the way through Archimedes and through the Einstien finals (against 175 & 236). Winning match 2 just wasn't part of our strategy. Sorry Mike
