Send me a e-mail with some pics of the trip and I reply u..

See you next year... here in brazil =].. cuz atlanta its too expencive =/

I am great, I am so proud you guys won. I hope to be able to make it down next year, or even sooner.

On a separate note, for all those who were not there, I just wanted to say that this competition was unlike any other I had been to before. It wasn't the fact that I couldn't understand over half the words being spoken that made it different. I just felt a whole different level of spirit and gracious professionalism.

Even though these teams were coming in from across the country, they way they acted with each other it seemed more like they were coming from across town. Every team worked with each other making sure everyone had the help they needed. It was one of the best examples of gracious professionalism I have ever seen. Even in light of so many technical difficulties and physical challenges (ringers getting stuck in customs) the teams and the competition as a whole managed to strive through it all and come out on top.

I was also amazed by all the press coverage the competition was getting. Every time I turned around there was another reporter with a microphone and a camera filming or taking an interview. As we left the competition I was surprised to see a MTV van parked outside unloading some of its camera gear.

Over all I have to say it was an amazing experience and we can all learn a little something from our friends down south. Thanks again guys for the amazing competition.

we would like to thank everyone, who was somehow linked with the event: all the teams attending there, some team members that couldn't go, and specially to our guests from 75 and 2016, that came across the countries bringing their support to us...

To team #383, we thank you for all the support and help you gave to us, since our team formation in 2004. We are glad to proud you... It's good to have the recognition of a team like you... and it's better to be friend of yours!

I'm a witness of what manoel is saying... and i also can say that it was a fantastic show of gracious professionalism.

The event as it all, was wonderful, and we can wait for great competitions in the next years, it would be good to have foreigner teams attending the regional and we hope we'll have...

To all the teams congratulation it was a tough competition but at all the time with fair play...

Thank you all and congratulations

We all believe that the event was successful, and for 2008 we are sure that we will see new faces... we are qorking hard for bringing new teams to first...

It would be great if some teams from other contries could come like #75 and #2016 that only visited the event... and even better if teams could compete here...

bye, as i said, i hope you enjoy it!
