Another week of big upsets. Just like we saw at the Mid-Atlantic Regional last week, the 7th seeded team won. Neither of the partners from that allaiance were in the top 8 qualifiers. The results from the 2 regionals we have been in support the idea that the best machines to win in the qualifying rounds, may not be the optimal design for the elimination rounds. It has certainly made the Elimination Rounds very interesting.
Here’s the details:
Champions: Teams 134, 293, 277
Finalists: 33, 48, 248
Semifinalist: 272, 56, 341
467, 365, 225
Quarter Finals: 106, 484, 104
284, 268, 87
103, 122, 145
222,186,367
