We're not bummed out about that... although there seemed to be a slight discreptancy in the scoring during Autonomous of that match and we brought it to the Head Ref's attention, we chose not to make a big deal out of it, because in the big picture, it really isnt a big deal. It isnt about winning and losing (although getting the trophies and medals are nice), this whole competition is about having fun, and showing off all of your hard work and everything you learned during those amazing six weeks. its not about Poof balls or green lights or getting up on the ramp at the end, this is about the learning experience and inspiration (if any... lets hope at least each person was touched in at least one small, significant way) gained throughout the year. that was a close match and we played a great game and we learned a lot. We had fun, and at the end of that match, we really didnt care if we won or lost, because in that instant we felt so good for succeeding in our objectives for the match--for getting up the ramp (and helping someone else up along the way), for scoring balls, for defending, for keeping our cool and not panicing at the crutial moment.

once again, kudos to 180, 79, and 1649! Not only did you do amazing, but every single team at that regional did a great job in at least just being there and showing off their hard work.
