Congratulations to my teammates on their excellent finishes!”

Judging by the number of competitors the word must be getting out,” remarked Byerly. “Over 200 rounds spread out over 14 stages led to a lot of discussion with my teammate Morgan Allen. Identifying key points on each stage was crucial to both of us finishing well. My thanks to the SO’s and staff for putting together an outstanding match.”
