Given they had 3 regional wins with the same team in 06, 2 with the same team in 07, went to regionals in 3 completely different areas in 04 and only picked at 1 of 2 regionals in 05, I can't see how you'd reach that conclusion.

But anyways on a different note, does anyone else notice 1114 trying to catch their own hurdles off a bounce (and sometimes succeeding)? That's impressive...

It is... but what's also impressive is the almost total lack of defense against 1114... I mean.. no one batting the ball away from them now and then or getting in front of them for a few seconds...

I love the Discovery channel broadcast of this regional. Having a correspondant (and let's not forget our co-correspondant Karthik ) makes it so much more fun to watch! So, anyhow, the Toronto regional gets my star for most fun broadcast to watch today.

Lots of neat arm designs too.

Go Teams!

Re: 2008 Greater Toronto Regional!

GTR has been amazing for Team 1676- we're having a blast. The upgrades to our elevator have really helped us out- we're now 7th in scoring average, and 21st overall- a huge improvement over NJ.

Congrats to Where's Waldo on their Woodie Flowers! Congrats also out to all the other teams that won awards today.

We'll see what happens tomorrow!
