The Einstein finals are just like regular elimination matches. I don't know which divisions go up against which, though.

One of our mentors counted the steps between the pit and the field. 652 steps, not counting escalators or elevators. It's quite a journey between the two. For the drivers, there's a much shorter route.

Are you reffering to last year's Championship or the year before? Compared to two years ago, last year was a breeze getting from the pits to the Georgia Dome. I have fond memories from 2004 of going up 3 sets of escalators then down another looooooooooooong escalator just to get from the pits to the field. It took like 10 minutes! (but sliding pennies down the side of the escalator was fun

Last year's pit location was much better. It was a walk in the park (literally, if you count that grass field as a park) to get from the pits to the stadium. It also made for an easy escape to play some ultimate frisbee.
