Well welcome to the club, then.
My first thought was, I must have done that. But apparently not.
I went 6-0 three years ago at Chicago before either a playoffs or the 3/2 system was implemented. That was one of the few 6 round swiss Regionals ever. And there were like 12 current and future Hall of Famers there.
I won Wisconsin last year undefeated, but Jake's Nom Bombs prevented my double Lancer Evolution from getting all three pt victories. You try and get a three point win vs Nomb Bombs with a lancer squad! Lobot was the only thing that allowed the 2 pt victory with 2 treadwell droids brought in.
I lost in Swiss at Chicago last year to Jason K, but came back and won in the finals (kinda like the reverse of this year at Michigan, except I never lost to Jason, I lost in the semis)
I was all set to do it this year at Michigan (had 15 pts after swiss) until I lost in the semis.
I have won Kokomo the last 2 years, and went undefeated in both. Last year's wasn't quite big enough to have had 5 swiss rounds so it didn't qualify.
So I guess I am not a part of this (very specific) club. Oh well, I'll take the 5 regional titles.
It is amazing how few have gone undefeated to win. But rough estimate over half the regional champions lost in the swiss. 100% of GenCon chmaps lost in the Swiss. It's really hard to go undefeated. 4/5 of my Regional titles were undefeated, and 2 other Regionals I was the last undefeated standing, and then lost in the semis.
Interesting to note.
