It would have made for a very intense final.

then a semi final round went to the third round. one alliance got both bots on the ramps last second to squeak out a win the crowd jumps in the stands. match ends and the ramps fall down and the other alliance wins and the whole arena becomes practicaly defining from the roars.

by far the best regional I have ever been too.
I thought we tied the following two matches then won two times. Or maybe I was just too shocked to remember.

Yeah, imaging being on the alliance team of the number 1 seed and having your ramp robot, that has never been tipped before, on its side seconds into the competition. Then having a ring stuck to the flag pole of your best scorer. After spending half a minute to take off the ring of the best scorer, the best scorer gets tipped over too!!! One minute into the match, you are completely shocked. The 8th seed had just punched you in the face and you are dumbfounded. You then try to fight your way back. But then the other team fight you back just as hard, keep matching your score. It was insanely intense for us the drive team if not for the crowd.
