PHI452

Let me begin with God is good. After we completed all our matches we were ranked 22nd and only 12 teams get to compete in the next round. By all standards we had little to no chance of being selected for an alliance. The only thing we had going for us is we just competed with the team that was ranked 2nd and we had scored the majority of the point for our alliance. We struggled all day, but that last match we looked like the old Phi Robotics. Like I said God is Good and He allowed our team to come together when it was required.

I probably should explain how the alliance selection takes place. The four highest ranked teams get to invite 2 other teams to join their alliance. So typically they select other high ranked team to join them. As a rule the higher the rank the better the team. So at the end of the alliance selection only 12 teams from each division move on to the next round. So the fact that we were ranked 22nd and were selected it is a miracle.

We will be competing tomorrow starting at 7:45 EDT or 4:45 PDT. Pray for our team and our alliance.

God Bless,
Jon
