Re: Lessons learned in all weeks.

Penalties make all the difference.

We would have been the 1st overall seed, had one of our alliance partners not been called for pinning.

During elims, a double red card in the semis meant a replay of the third semi-final match. The important issue became that we now carried a yellow card.

In the finals, we won the first match and dominated the second match, but there was a penalty on one of our alliance partners that resulted in another yellow, so a red card was given again. We went on to lose the regional, but this is how important penalties are.

[Disclaimer] We are not mad at any of the teams mentioned above. I just wanted to put this out there as a learning experience for all teams.[/Disclaimer]

Hope this helps people, and good luck for the rest of the season!
