This year, the winning teams were based on scoring averages instead of numbers of wins and losses. Carmel’s TechHOUNDS team was seeded 17^th overall, so it was not an alliance captain. However, they were selected by the 6^th seed to form an alliance.

Niyaz said, “In the first elimination rounds, we played two matches. These were crucial because we didn’t score high, we wouldn’t move on. The requirement was to be in the top 4 scoring alliances.”

The next TechHOUNDS competition will be the Purdue District Event on March 19.
