Saitama Pref. team
Yuzi Aoki(Chiba Pref.)
Having 2nd place prize became good memory for me not forgotten through my life.
It marveled at the concentration of a Chinese team to fight in finals and the accuracy of the technology.
Some Australian teams did an even game with Japanese teams.
I feel that they'll be able to get high rank advance at the international game in the future if they acquired the strategy.
