A few general thoughts on close matches vs. blowouts:

People generally don't review, re-hash, and agonize over every twist and turn in a blowout (like Finals match 3) because no single factor would have made the difference.

The close matches are another story. In finals match 2, one basket either way in hybrid would have swung the match as would two baskets during teleop. At the end, the crowd was focused on Red's triple balance. However, when we watched the video, we noticed that Blue achieved their double balance to secure the win just as the clock hit zero. Also, I believe that 2054 sunk the "winning" basket while everybody else was balancing. In a close match, every action becomes a single-point make-or-break factor in the ultimate victory/loss.

Congratulations again to 3546, 2054, and 141 on a great win.
