After the final score was announced, a rack of medals was placed nearby our alliance, and we were told to pick up our medals and pack up. Trophies and banners were dropped off as well. To make matters worse, our entire team who was up in the stands were told they weren't allowed on the dome floor. It was only after significant arguing by one of our parents (go Supermom!) that they opened the gate, allowing the rest of the team to join in on the celebration.

I understand the time constraints involved, but it just seemed strange that the winning alliance didn't have a chance to go up on stage to shake hands with Dean and Woodie, and receive our medals and trophy.

Hopefully the medal and trophy presentation for the winners will return next year, allowing the 2009 Champions the proper level of recognition that they deserve.

Does anyone have some insight into why this ceremony was removed from the program?


I would hate to think this is true, but what if the association between IFI and the winning alliance caused the ceremony to be canceled.
