--Wesley (still wondering what happened to Grand Junction two years ago) ...if my memory serves me correctly (hehe. now i sound like the guy at the beginning of iron chef.), two years ago at the washington phase of chip's nationals, Grand Junction pretty much slaughtered everyone. they went 4-0 in their prelim rounds (not exactly a difficult feat), and they trounced everybody in the playoffs. they were the clear-cut winner. after the final round, where they soundly defeated manheim township, grand junction told chip that the exact same team would not be heading out to the finals in malibu. this was because grand junction was also attending panasonic, and wanted to send their absolute best people there (understandibly so). chip didn't seem to like this, be it for whatever reason, probably the fact that a team would go to a different national than his national. aaaaanyway. long story shorter. chip made GJ choose to send the exact same team to malibu, or to forfeit their spot and all of their previous winnings at the tournament. GJ chose to go to panasonic. chip then gave the spot to manheim township. later he gave another spot to horace greely high school, whom GJ beat in the semis in washington. manheim township went on to win the whole thingie in malibu by defeating horace greely in the final. hope that clears everything up.
