We had a very good tournament down in Lacrosse over the weekend. Our highest ranking finish ever (8th out of 54 teams) and with the usual sequence of final round picks ended up as the number 6 alliance captain, also our highest finish ever. Then we were offered a spot on the number four alliance. A considerable honor, we accepted at once.
We played well, I'd say more than holding up our end of things but in the end a double elimination format is pretty tough when you are essentially the fourth best alliance competing in the final rounds. Here we are pulling out a nail biter of a win before being eliminated a few matches later. We are team 5826 and are in red for this match.
Everyone came home tired and happy with what we've accomplished this year. Really it is quite remarkable to go from being a team near extinction to one that can compete at the highest level. So far not win consistently at that level but we will have a strong team coming back next season and expect to use what we've learned to get even better.
