Exactly. Though this wouldn't bother me so much if it wasn't specifically asked at the driver's meeting only receive a vague and misleading non-commitment that it would "be like the regionals", with balls only being replaced as needed throughout the competion. (The regionals
did have replacements scheduled for start of eliminations, in addition to replace-as-needed.) Guess we should have asked if they were going to give us literally different game pieces mid-event as well.
Hi guys. I know I'm not on Curie. 
Even as a backup on Newton I was still worried about it, though.
Congrats to 987, 207 and 233. You guys were awesome and I believe definitely could have gone all the way. Also congratulations to 341 with 254 and 78. We love you guys and you also could have taken it all. Great job to everyone and I wish we'd all been lucky enough to witness the matches that could have and should have happened. (Even so, I humbly believe the Curie elims topped most of the later events.)
