They aren't up now, but watch this spot:

I'm fairly sure that the circuitrunners do ALL regionals eventually, but I'm not certain. They've got the directory all ready to go, just no movies in it

Does anyone have the alliance list from this regional?

2. 573 - 503 - 1015
3. 1213 - 322 - 33
4. 308 - 469 - 68
5. 494 - 1023 - 1503
6. 70 - 279 - 1596
7. 818 - 326 - 1
8. 548 - 65 - 1504

This is inferred from the match results, so it may not be entirely accurate. I don't know 3 and 6 because their quarterfinal isn't up yet. I found 1-4 by looking at the qualifying standings, (none of 1-4 picked each other), and got 5-8 by looking at the opponents of 1-4 in the match results, assuming 1vs8, 2vs7, 3vs6, 4vs5.

Thanks. Alliance #1 looks to be really strong. Should be interesting as to how this plays out. (Future Reference)

[Bongle]

Big props to alliance 8 for putting up the biggest fight of any underdog so far, despite being the 8th alliance.

Edit: In fact, they put up the biggest score of ANY alliance, excluding alliance #1 itself.

Edit: Continuing list from previous page.

1. 1114 - 67 - 57
2. 573 - 503 - 1015
3. 1213 - 322 - 33
4. 308 - 469 - 68
5. 494 - 1023 - 1503
6. 70 - 279 - 1596
7. 818 - 326 - 1
8. 548 - 65 - 1504

Bold indicates an underdog winning. I like it when that happens

Round 1 of QFs
1 beats 8
5 beats 4
2 beats 7
3 beats 6

Round 2 of QFs
1 beats 8, eliminating them
5 beats 4, eliminating them
7 beats 2, forcing a 3rd game
6 beats 3, forcing a 3rd game

Round 3 of QFs - 2vs7 and 3vs6 to go
2 beats 7, eliminating them
6 beats 3, eliminating them

So 1, 2, 5, and 6 move on to semifinals

Round 1 of SFs: 1 vs 5 and 2 vs 6
5 beats 1 - Shocker: Alliance with former triplet 1503 beats alliance with 1114 in it. Once the student, now the master? stay tuned.
6 beats 2 - I'm dying to see the video of alliance 6, they seemed to have gotton some really good alliance partners despite picking near-last.

Round 2 of SFs
5 beats 1 - WOW, the former triplet takes out its spawner. I want to see this video too.
2 beats 6, forcing a third game

Round 3 of SFs
2 beats 6, eliminating them and going on to finals against alliance 5

Round 1 of Finals
5 beats 2

Finals: 2 v 5

573 - 503 - 1015 v 494 - 1023 - 1503

On behalf of team 65 I would like to thank team 548 and 1504 for being such great alliance partners. Congratulations to teams 573 503 1015 on your victory. Hope to see you guys soon in Cleveland.

[SPurekar]

CONGRATULATIONS 503, 573, and 1015 on the win! You guys were really great out there. Kudos to 503 for the Chairman's too!

And thanks to all of the other teams out there for making this such a great regional! 226 truly had a blast!

[Silent_Stryker]

Great job on the win, guys! It's just too bad that so much stuff went wrong with our alliance's robots right out of the gate.

[cfox2008]

We were so close...Thanks 1503 and 494.

Congrats 503, 573, 1015.

[WillZZZ]

As part of the winning alliance (503), I would like to take this time to thank our alliance partners (573, 1015) for an awesome alliance! We really did it!

Right now I'm waiting on the videos to be uploaded. Hopefully they are soon.

[Gertlex]

As another on the winning alliance (1015 PiHi Samurai), I extend great thanks to 503 and 573 for the win.

I had much much fun. Felt like I was a high school student again.

We're uncertain at this point whether we'll be at nationals. I probably will be unable to skip my classes for two days, however .

[Tomasz Bania]

On behalf of team 818, I would like to thank teams 1 and 326 for being great alliance partners.

Paul Copioli had a very unique reaction to our misscore for round 2 of the QF. It took at least 10 minutes to sort out but apparrently the one of the referees with with the pda did not realize the spoiler and did not imput it.

Congrats to all the teams at GLR. I hope to see some of you at West Michigan, and Possibly Atlanta, and hopefully next year as well.

Frenchie, I won't forget that stress ball for W.M. (I hope) and good luck to 469. Good job guys.
