Michigan State Championship 2009

[IKE]

I only got to watch a few matches today, but I was really impressed with the quality of the action on the field. Amazing. Absolutely no duds from what I saw. To comment on that 33 lost two matches today and had scores of 84 and 89 during those matches. That is some high scoring high action competition when 84 and 89 are loosing scores.

I just finished my bracket, and am in complete concurrence. The closest matches will be 2 vs 7


There are many good teams at this event, which do you think is the best unselected team? My vote goes to either team 1701 or team 1. I'm a 27 fan as well.

[Ian Curtis]

After that last match, I can't see 4 beating 5. Alliance #5 really played as a team, and outscored #4 prior to their double super cell score.

[Barry Bonzack]

I give a pat on the back to the 8th seed alliance. I believe they could have beaten many of the other alliances in this competition, and gave the number 1 seed a much better run for their money than any of us were expecting. Good show!

How about team 27?

[flippy147852]

just as at almost every michigan regional, 1 vs. 2

not surprising

[Meredith Novak]

Well that was fun to watch. Congratulations to 217, 67, 65 - what a spectacularly frightening alliance. To all the other teams: Great job on a very exciting competition.

[JaneYoung]

I'm going to put my popcorn in a spill-proof container in Atlanta. All my jumping up and down, watching the teams compete, threw popcorn everywhere like confetti. It made my dogs very happy but I lost out on the popcorn end of things. I did manage to control the diet coke sloshing which is a good thing.

Congrats to 217 67 and 65, those were some awesome matches. Also congrats to a few others: 1918, 247, 469, and 1250, you were all awesome.
