This is your semiprofessional, in-depth review of the absolutely loaded 2025 SC SWAT Challenge. There was a lot of new faces and challenges, resulting from the added logistics and "Murphy's Law" of going up to 12 teams. Oh and the rough weather. We will include full breakdowns of the sponsors, stages, teams and lessons learned by all the competitors and cadre. Also mixed in are some surprises for the future of the competition and being a nationally recognized event, with an amazing venue.
