Congrats to this year's champions: 330 2481 120 1086

It was a tight finish and all credit goes to them!

Absolutely fantastic finish, some great matches on einstein, and congrats to our champions. 2056 was THAT close.

What are the odds that ties get replayed next year?

IIRC, ties in eliminations were replayed until 2010. Breakaway had so many ties, causing eliminations to take too long. Ties have not been nearly as common as that year ever since.

330 unflipping itself twice to make it to the finals has to be one of the most memorable events in Einstein history.

Honestly having a tie go to foul points is a pretty unsatisfying end. I hope we have a rule next year or something that the championship winner can't be decided on a tie (i.e. ties in Einstein finals get replayed). Congrats the winners anyways though, great showing by both sides.

Totally agreed. Especially with these 2 evenly matched alliances a 4th match to break the tie would have been incredible.

Congrats to both alliances in making the last real Championship one to remember.

This.

Major congrats to the winning alliance members! This years matches were some of the most exciting in FIRST history.

Definitely! My highlight was 254 pushing an e-stopped robot to cap the tower in quals on Newton.

Can someone clarify OP's fouls during the final matches? I was told that they were rolling balls over a defense. Can someone explain?

Congrats on the winning alliance though. Absolutely incredible finals.

From what I heard it was not backing up enough after pinning.

Anyway, congrats to 330, 2481, 120, and 1086!

Probably more likely 1405 accidentally hitting someone in the outerworks.

Nonetheless 1405 was brilliant with their defending skills!

congratulations to the last 'world' champion alliance

Nope, 'twas a pin call. I saw the flag go up, and the pointing hand. Pinning, 1405.

And a harder-fought match you'll never see...

When teams train their driveteams in the future and the new members ask how they should drive, the mentors will show them Einstein Semifinals 1-2.

My team congratulates everyone who got to make it to Worlds!! This was our first time coming to this event and we all had fun!!! Everyone was so nice and helped us out when we needed it! Thanks to everyone!!

Also congratulations to the top 8 teams in the finals for making it that far! And congratulations to the winners of Worlds! I can't wait for next years event to see how far everyone can make it!

Good luck and thanks to everyone!!
