My favorite memory from nationals would have to be the deciding match in the round of 16 where the Bobcat and Delphi Elite(#48) were pitted against #60 and Aces High (#176). It was basically decided by a wrestling match between the Bobcat and Aces High. In the end we were knocked out of the ring, but Aces came with us and the score was preserved. The alliance of 41, 48, & 177 moved on to the quarterfinals. Here's a picture from Elite's web site showing what the field looked like when the match was over. Even though there were 20 seconds at the end where nothing happened, this was the most exciting match that I saw this year.

p.s. - On behalf of 177, I really want to thank Cordis for picking us in the draft and then letting us play in the eliminations. I also want to thank both Cordis and Delphi for being such great partners and having so many screaming fans. The noise that we made during those matches made the whole thing a lot more exciting.
