Congratulation, Haifa team! It was both tough and fulfilling to have more than one great bid to choose from, and I have to tell the other bidding teams not to be down; consider you have now more experience for the next time.
I'd like to thank Phoebe for putting up with us, and all the advisors and moderators. Mazel tov!
