I wonder if the field crew found their little golden memento from the Pitt. field crew yet?

Good luck teams!

BMR just lost all power! 2 seconds after a match ended the whole venue went dead.

Oops!

Apparently we blew a 400 amp (!) breaker.. Power's back but now they're trying to get the field going again. Seems like FMS might be having issues. I'm surprised they don't have a UPS on that.

[Dave Flowerday]

They can't get the scoring system running again so we're done with matches for the day.

So, I've been watching this thing on webcast for the last 45 minutes... why'd they have to Rick Roll us at the end?
Oh well. I'm coming up to watch tomorrow though. Should be fun.

[WRENCHMOM]

I have been watching on and off for most of today and just came back to see what was going on ......thanks for the info! Tomorrow should be a fun one to watch! Good Luck all!

That happened during our match!
Now we get to try again. We sat in the drivers station for the better part of a half hour.

What was the last thing heard before the power outage?

Dude, what does this switch do?

[Josh Hambright]

A_Reed, yes we found the memento you left us, it actually came in handy this morning when we had a small water spill on the announcer table.

As far as the power outage, yes we blew a 400amp breaker and during the restart process we had some minor communication issues between the FMS software and some field elements. Of course as soon as we sent the teams over to the awards ceremony next door we got it back up and running.

Looking to still finish within a half hour of where we should finish today, watch and learn how fast matches can be run.

Hmm, disrespecting the towel + power outage...must be the Cope curse. Cincinnati, Tennessee and Arizona have learned of it's power, will you?

Just kidding, how many matches behind are you guys anyways? Good luck catching up!

(p.s. I only put my name on it, the other guys at the table thought it was a sign of good will and peace!...lol)

When you score a SC on your own alliance it has a tendency to sway a match..

congrats to all teams in the finals, those were some great matches.

[Aren_Hill]

the fact they were close enough for the supercell to make the jump still speaks for their alliance

[kirtar]

Congratulations to teams 868, 1024, and 292. Great matches, looking forward to seeing you in Atlanta. Thanks to our alliance partners 45 and 234 for the great alliance, hope you all get to Einstein.
