Can anyone post some results? Thanks.

For reference, tournament was played 2v2. Top 7 seeds were randomly paired with one of the bottom 7 seeds for elims

2826/461 beat 5188/234 in the finals. 1024 was the third seed. When the volunteers are done packing up I'm sure someone will post the full results.

Seriously proud of our Lady Goats today and the rest of the team that was there cheering them on.

Big thanks to Cyber Blue and all the volunteers who made this event happen.

Every female FIRSTer should have an opportunity to play in an event like this.

With the small number of teams (14) we modified the alliances and playoffs a little.

We played 2 v 2 with a 10 minute cycle time to allow time between matches for repairs, discussions and planning. The slower cycle time was a benefit with so many "new" drive teams and volunteers.

After qualifications, the top 7 ranked teams pulled their alliance partner from a hat, to form 2 team alliances. We then played 7 matches so each alliance played twice, an the top 2 alliances then moved to Finals. Finales were best 2 of 3.

The top 7 Alliances are below.
1 2826 - 461
2 5188 - 234
3 1024 - 829
4 4103 - 3940
5 1501 - 2781
6 3494 - 1529
7 4926 - 1720

For the finals, Alliance 1 and 2 advanced for a best of 3.
Alliance 2 (5188-234) won match 1, Alliance 1 (2826-461) won matches 2 and 3 to be Champions.

For awards, we had "Host / Judges" who spent time with the teams, about 30 - 40 minutes talking with a goal of the Host learning about the team, and the team learning about their host (all professional women, most in engineering / technical roles).

Thanks to Perry Meridian High School for letting us host this event, to all of the volunteers (many who were new to FIRST), to the PMHS Dad's Club for doing concessions, and to all of the teams who took a chance on a new event and new event concept. We had an awesome time.

Quick question; does anyone have video of the 461 offseason machine? I have never seen it but from what I have heard/read about it is making it sound like an absolute monster.

I wouldn't really call it a monster but it fulfills a role that not many Indiana robots fill.
