Yeah, if we had tripled we definitely would have won that match. I think part of the problem though was that in that match a ball was stuck under the bridge or something, which is why we couldn't really triple in time. The bridge had to be tipped from the other side which kind of threw everything off.
Just so everyone else knows, we tried tripling on the practice field in two configurations - with 2415 going up last and with 2046 going up last. We didn't have a chance to try it with us (195) going up last. We had a feeling that us going up last would have worked, but because we never got to actually try it that kind of added to the confusion on the field during the first match.

Well, I think our 4-second triple balance in QF3-2 had to have turned some heads. You could tell from the first match (with the really disorganized triple balance attempt) that we weren't all quite on the same page. That definitely improved for the second match but the alliance just barely came up short.
By the way, what ended up happening to you guys between QF3-1 and QF3-2? It looked like something happened to your intake but I never got a chance to ask, I ended up getting distracted by something then forgot.
