Yes, team 1323 will also be at Davis and we are looking forward to playing with you guys.

[seanl]

team 867 will be there as always..

but one question, will there be a team social this year?

[ChrisH]

There will be no official social this year due to lack of budget. If somebody wants to put tgether something un-official like we did years ago at the Santa Monica promenade, go for it!

Does anyone know if there is a webcast in the works? I won't be there in person, but I really don't want to miss out on watching the matches. It looks to be a fun regional, good luck to all attending!

[DCA Fan]

I won't be there, unfortunately it is the week before my finals. But! I am one of your website judges, so I have at least some presence over there. Best of luck to all teams!

[EricH]

I will be there, wearing a volunteer shirt. I show up on Wednesday...

And for those that want to find me, I'm usually right behind the blue outpost, sitting down, during matches. If I'm not scrambling for a ball out of bounds, that is. I may also be wandering the pits looking for some one or some team. Key identifier: blue frameless safety glasses and a volunteer badge with my CD nametag on the lanyard. (Sorry, it's too warm for the hat.)

rccola, I've been looking for you in particular...

Eric also like to pretend to trip coaches as they walk by, saying "Have an nice trip! See ya' next fall."

I didn't fall for it, though.

EricH I have been looking for you also. Stop by the Pit or please get me during one of our matches. Our electronics all blew out today, 7 jags at one time. Man, we were out for 2 full matches, bummer. But we are fine as of Now.

[MrForbes]

That was the story I heard.

Oh man this just made my day. First off congrats to 207, 973 and (of course) 2659, especially 2659 cause I love you guys, great job guys, 2nd regional you guys attended to take it all home. Good stuff.

Man, I waited a year and it was worth it, congrats guys back home in LA. I wish I was there with you.

[MrForbes]

big congrats to 1138 on winning Chairmans!

It was a very competitive regional, lots of close matches. 973 definitely ate their Wheaties (literally) and it did the trick! Congrats to them, 207, and 2659 for pulling off the underdog win, it was very impressive. Thanks to our alliance partners 330 and 980,it was great playing with you, and we almost did it....

The regional went very smoothly, aside from some field reset delays the first two mornings. The music sound level was just right (no hearing protection required), the elimination rounds went very quickly, and the volunteers all did a great job, thanks!

We're off to Phoenix next weekend, hope our robot gets there
