With the three day holiday weekend, 12 of our teams arrived to the Nation's Capitol to compete 2018 Capitol Hill Classic at the Washington Convention Center. Most families arrived on Friday Night kicked off the fun and team bonding that evening at one of the two hotels we stayed at.
Then starting bright and early, 5 teams, EDGE 18, Arsenal, EDGE 16, Phoenix and EDGE 14 made their way to the convention before 8am to begin morning pool play. After spending the morning relaxing at the hotel or hitting the sights in D.C., the remaining 7 teams, EDGE 17, Fusion, EDGE 15, Lightning, Pearl, Badgers and Panthers were up next in the afternoon wave. While some the results were mixed, some teams doing better than they expected and other teams not meeting their expectations, the fun was still the same!
